The OUTPUT of the processed CCD data IS 16M pixels, but how they achieve that 16M pixels is using a 16M sensor device, which has four sensors grouped together in a 2x2 quad, one R, one B and two Gs. They interpolate the color information across these four sensors (and probably across a larger area I would hope). As I have said time and time again, this is the little (IMO big, really) white lie in digital imaging... Without either multiple sensors and a beam splitter, or taking multiple shots, they all (currently) use a quad color array and the color information IS interpolated, so when a manufacturer makes a claim of 16M pixels, they are talking ONLY about the output of the "box", NOT the actual data out of the sensor. This, IMO, is certainly at the least misleading advertising/specification.
