If this is for real, then it sounds great.

This isn't an April's fool joke :)

I ment to post in that thread actually that NEC offer, for security purposes, cameras which use 3 sensors per pixel for colour split via prism already!

This is cleverer because they don't require as many buckets per prism.

This sounds like a logical progression from the 3CCD or 3MOS system Panasonic were using for years in their camcorders.

The basics are the same, but it's one chip, lacks a big chunk of glass and will be tiny in comparison.

Minolta had a 3 CCD dSLR too:
