CCD and CMOS sensors are both monochrome. They're wafers of little squars and each square counts photons. That's it.
The dyes used for the CFA (trade secrets) and the profiles for mapping the sensors color and luminance data to an 8 bit jpeg are what does all the color stuff. Clueless slider dragging gearfags never figure that out.
If you want to buy a camera for le color you should try experimenting with purposefully inaccurate profiles in a raw developer instead and learn to use the curves tool
maybe you could use darktable-chart to profile a new camera's raw with an old camera's jpeg and see what happens
Maybe install capture one and go nuts with their flexible and easy to use color editor tool
>>4325634This strong/weak cfa myth comes from the same people saying "rendering" and "pop". In reality, "weak" CFAs with more overlap are closer to the spectral response of the human eye, and having a "strong" CFA means you have less accurate colors, like old cameras where the greens and yellows were always drab and the reds and blues were always overly vibrant.
