Regarding sensor technology, the most widespread currently are:.

Furthermore, along with the four types of sensors mentioned, some brands have chosen to provide new approaches.

This is the case of Sony and its RGBE CCD. The modification, in this case, occurs in the Bayer filter placed in front of the sensor. Instead of betting on the classic combination of red, green and blue filters - with greens predominating because the human eye is most sensitive to this color - the company's engineers have further adjusted this parameter and have come to the conclusion that our eyesight perceives a specific type of green: emerald. Thus, this modified Bayer filter contains half of green pixels filtered specifically for emerald green.

Another variation would be the Kodak sensor chip that replaces the basic red, green and blue patterns with cyan, magenta and yellow. Indeed, while other sensors take a 'positive' image, they record digital negatives using secondary colors instead of primary ones (although the data is then converted to RGB to maintain compatibility with the rest of the market). The advantage of using these secondary components is that these colors contain higher transmission factors than complementary primary colors, which results in greater sensitivity in certain circumstances (not all).
