The reason their is a light increase is that the dichroic filters split the light into red, green and blue portions, rather than the bayer filter which absorbs the unwanted colours. So instead of 2/3rds of the light being absorbed, it is all directed to the appropriate sensor.

And again, this is not for µ4/3.

This is possible onli for m4/3?, not for 4/3 … And then camera will be huge ]:->

“3. The effect of doing this is the equivalent of increasing the sensor size approximately threefold. So about the same area as APS-H. It puts the output a solid step above APS-C, but not quite to the level of full frame cameras. Still, the lenses would still work exactly the same as they do now.”

What about the light gathered by the lens. IT would still be the same. I don’t see any noise advantage with this setup.
