I didn't say it was ALL...you, for some mistaken reason, apparently took it that way. And I quote: "I get results clearly superior in terms of sharpness and grain compared to film" So, yes, Eric, YOU brought it up, and in bringing it up, I'm going to point out what I did. Grain is yet another issue in and of it self...and is, of course, very dependant on what film you are talking about...and very dependant on what resolution sensor you are comparing to. This issue goes both ways, and can be far better with respect to using film, and in SOME instances, can be far better using digital. Also, you asked "Why call it Bayer pattern?" apparently you were thinking I was being pedantic or something...well, the reason FOR identifying it as what we are talking about is there are other types of sensors, and in some instances are far superior to a Bayer pattern sensor (like a linear sensor, which will give full color information, unlike the Bayer pattern sensor)...and therefore it is necessary to define the type of sensor being talked about when making any type of comparison/qualitative statements.
