A recent issue of Popular Science (prior to the current March issue,
probably Jan or Feb) had an article on the next generation digital camera
technology that is going to hit the market. As the article explained,
current technology, regardless of pixel count, uses separate pixels for the
basic RGB colors. Next, 3X technology will combine RGB on the individual
pixel with order of magnitude improvement in resolution, color rendition,
etc. Sorry, I don't have the issue so I can't quote issue and page. An
internet search didn't produce much since the "3X" was interpreted as 3X
zoom.
