Are Megapixel 3-CCD Cameras Worth the Additional Cost ?
A lot of people are confused about what advantages Megapixel 3-CCD Cameras bring compared to single CCD cameras. In a nutshell, it’s all about resolution and color control. In order to generate color in a single CCD sensor, a color filter matrix is laid down over the CCD substrate. Most typically 50% of the pixels are filtered for Green, and 25% for Red and Blue each. What’s that mean ? It means that for a typical 1 megapixel camera, only 250,000 pixels are seeing blue or red details in the image. Compared to a 3-CCD 1 megapixel camera which dedicates a full CCD pixel array to each Red, Green, and Blue color component. This makes a huge difference in image resolution and color control.
