Would you buy a B&W DSLR?

May 28, 2011

I am a huge fan of B&W photography and the ability to create amazing landscapes with a red filter or beautiful portraits using a yellow filter. A B&W sensor would not require an antialaising filter or Bayer interpolation and allows the ability to use colored filters.

Would anyone buy a DSLR with a B&W sensor?
