What's Next for Digital Photography?
PCMagazine have published an interesting article that takes a broad look at the immedaite future of digital photography (found via digicamera.net).
“What we haven’t yet seen in still cameras, and what I expect to see emerge in both the pro and semipro environments, is the 3-CCD still camera. This would immediately triple the resolution of the camera (depending on how you calculate resolution). With today’s CCDs a 6MP camera is really only delivering about 2MP to 3MP resolution, because the CCD itself has color filters for RGB with one red pixel next to one blue pixel, surrounded by two green pixels. It takes four pixels to make one point of color. Only Foveon goes about this differently. A 3-CCD camera would deliver a much more defined and colorful image.”
