Benefits of a Monochrom sensor – read more at Rddotforum:

  • Expanded ISO range up to 200,000 – gathers twice as much light as the Q3.
  • Lower Noise Output – Due to the omission of the Bayer filter, Monochrom sensors naturally offer a higher signal to noise ratio than color sensors resulting in cleaner DNG files.
  • Higher Sharpness and Detail – No debayering is required, preserving the native resolution of the sensor.
  • Greater Dynamic Range – Monochrom sensors only record luminosity values, allowing for more tonal gradations to be captured.
