Sounds very intriguing.

2-4 times the light sensitivity? For birds anyway, it sure would be nice not to have to worry as much about having a high enough shutter speed.

I believe it is a sensor filter pattern.

At first glance it doesn't really sound like a breakthrough Doesn't ISO 200 have twice the light sensity of ISO 100? What am I missing here?
