Just to chip into a most enjoyable flame war, I think most people who read the camera reviews on DPReview.com and other sites know what a Bayer pattern is and why it means that a 8 megabyte file from a digicam isn't the same as an 8 megabyte scan of a film negative. The GRBG filter causes a lot of loss of resolution. It's about as technical as "reciprocity law failure" -- ie, something that geeks would know *why* it happens, but that consummerate photographers know occurs.
