As I'd hate to have my favorite camera company accused of "hype" id love to
see that part where they say "how". Just Stating the fact that they make a
CMOS look like a CCD is the question. Its not the answer.
We know they're saying that. We'd not getting how.
Its not in the pdf or pdq either.
Maybe its in the FAQ?

But I personally don't see the big "look" between the CCD and the CMOS.
Never seen that demonstrated.
A pic on the left with real "pure" colors right next to the same pic on the
right done by the prevailing and ubiquitous crass crude CMOS sensor so you
can see the errors of your ways.
It smells like hype to me. A shame if that's the case that they could get
sucked into that.
