I can understand in principle why this may be the case for Bayer sensors. But in pixel shift mode? What could be the explanation in pixel shift mode - this effectively bypasses the Bayer pattern...

I'm on a bit of a journey at the moment - audio hifi. I'm doing an electronics course with the aim of learning how to design and build stereo amplifiers and I'm learning about loudspeaker design. I'm also learning about DSP and measurement techniques.

As part of this journey I'm doing a certain amount of experimentation and online research. it is very evident (within minutes, really) that the hifi world is bereft of scepticism and full of lots of very passionate, sincere people just making sh*t up. it is extremely difficult to cut through the huge amount of made up beliefs to find out what is real.

This seems to be a common problem, especially amongst men (for some reason) in many technical fields that lend themselves to amateur hobbyist dabbling. I put photography in that set. i don't doubt the passion or the sincerity but filtering truth out of the noise is a struggle. Human beings (no matter how well educated) seem to gravitate much more easily to rumour, religion and fantasy than fact, and science. There is an almost total lackl of appreciation for the impact of bias and a lack of scepticism. We are much more "believing engines", than engineers. I'm rapidly gaining an appreciation of Ted's "pedantry" - he has standards...

This is very interesting. There are things that can't be measured or scientifically proved when passion and emotion come into the picture. I use a lot of "junk" that I love and wouldn't change for newer, more expensive and "better produkts".
