BTW, "2x-4x improvement in light sensitivity" is 1-2 stops. That's a nice improvement but it's hardly "profound". Digicams will really like it.]]>Jun 13th 2007 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/Jun 13th 2007 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/Jun 13th 2007 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/Jun 13th 2007 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/Jun 13th 2007 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/Jun 13th 2007 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/
Since the announcement is so short on details, I'm sure we'll be hearing more about the limitations/drawbacks as time goes on, bu I'm not expecting this to be any kind of panacea.]]>Jun 13th 2007 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/Jun 14th 2007 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/Jun 14th 2007 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/It's a color FILTER. Therefore it removes light, right?
If there's less light after the filter it cannot increase the light sensitivity!!!

Or is it a filter like system changing the wavelenghth to the sensitive wavelengths fo the optical IC?

I haven't got enough knowledge there to be sure it's physically possibel. I beleve I read somewhere light can only be increased in powers of 2 of it's wavelength, because it can only halve the energy. In anny case, light cannot be decreased in wavelength without additional energy, which is impossible in a filter like structure.

If I am correct, the wavelength of light cannot be shifted a bit (exept for Doppler, but I am guessing that has nothitg to do with this) and therefore this "filter" would be impossible.

If it's true Kodak said it, I'm curious how they did it. They have more than suffcient knowledge of light to make things possible I couldn't dream about.]]>Jun 14th 2007 5:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/
What they mean by increased sensitivity is not that the filter adds light, but rather that it removes less than some other filter. Specifically, a filter that is stuck in front of the sensor in a current digital camera. Or all filters that are used today...]]>Aug 13th 2007 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/Jun 14th 2007 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/13/kodak-color-filter-technology-could-redefine-low-light-shooting/
