Then it's just a matter of physics of the pixel well. Unless we create microlens/sensors that can suck in more light, or use a stacked arrangement like the Foveon (which no one else uses because it sucks in other ways), the end is near :-) On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 12:47 PM, Lew Schwartz <lew1716 at gmail.com> wrote: > I thought about that, too.
