The Online Photographer Interviews Kodak Scientist

KodakThe Online Photographer has interviewed Kodak scientist John Hamilton about the new image sensor technology that Kodak announced last week, which claims to improve performance in low light conditions.

“T.O.P.: The human eye puts an emphasis on luminance information for the sake of image detail. Is the new sensor likely to increase the level of real detail in digital images?
John Hamilton: Not really. The panchromatic pixels function just like the green pixels of the Bayer pattern except that they are photographically faster. However, under low light conditions, the new patterns will outperform Bayer because of improved signal-to-noise.”
