    "480 million bux and no color!!!"

    I'm fairly certain they have the capability to capture the entire spectrum of visible light and a good deal beyond that.

    • capturing is one thing. transmitting is another.
      ********
    • how is transmitting 1 color photo any different from transmitting 3 b&w photos? they transmit THOUSANDS of photosacescence
    • I think they transmit over radio. Colour is interpreted by wave-lenght. You can't be sure there's no distortion.
      ********
    • even if it's sent via analog carrier, it's encoded digitally, so you can absolutely insure there is no distortion, ie a checksumacescence
    • its all digital... wavelengths don't factor in the transmissionribit
