High dollar Leica
And you can't even change lenses on it.

The theory is, that by not having the RGB filters over the pixels on the sensor. You will get a more film like response. Current sensors, Foveon excluded, have the RGB pixels next to each other. So to get a color you are actually taking three pixels to make one. And, since they are next to each other, you have to use an demosaic filter to get it all mashed into one dot of color. In this instance, I'm using the word pixel to describe the light sensitive cell on the sensor. For that matter there are not an equal number of each color either. The spilt is about 50% green, and 25% each for red and blue.
So if every pixel only recorded luminosity, then you could do away with the filters, and get a higher resolution image with the same number of pixels on the sensor.

Usually called a sensel (SENSor ELement).
