Kodak says a sensor with the high-sensitivity pattern has double to quadruple the light sensitivity as the same image sensor using a traditional Bayer pattern. That means images shot in low-light conditions will be less noisy. Both of these images were taken with a sensitivity setting of ISO 1000 and a shutter speed of 1/10 second, but the left image used a traditional Bayer pattern and the right used the new high-sensitivity pattern. The cameras were otherwise identical, Kodak said.
