I had to Google "Bayer filter" -- the Wikipedia page is good. So, yes, without knowing it, I was describing a Bayer filter.
For video, sure, my Nikormat is only a still camera, but my guess is that the Canon CCD sensor will also get used for still photography. Then a question is, would that chip make a much better 35 mm 'class' still camera than my old Nikormat with, say, just Kodacolor film? Apparently on ASA speed values, the Canon sensor would totally blow away any film.
But on resolution, I was guessing that film such as Kodacolor in a good, old still camera such as my Nikormat might still be close to competitive.
But I have fallen so behind in photography that I don't even know what the camera ads mean when they say how many pixels their sensor has. For the Dalsa sensor I described, would the ads say 48 million pixels or just 1/4th of that many, 12 million, after the Bayer filtering?
