Re:True monochrome? (Score 1)

Unfortunately the Bayer CFA is a collection of colored filters bonded to each pixel on the chip. The only way to remove it would be to replace the whole sensor chip with a replacement monochrome chip.

There have been some mono digital cameras in the past (e.g. the DCS 760M) but unfortunately they've all had their flaws and there are none currently on the market.
While I would love a good mono camera I'm not sure any camera manufacturer has been convinced that there's enough of a market out there to introduce one...
