Mars camera comparison

About this image

Not a completely fair comparison, as although the images were captured at the same relative scales I captured twice as much colour data as I did RGB due to circumstances and the need to conduct other experiments with the mono camera. But it does illustrate how nicely modern colour cameras are performing against RGB cameras on a target like Mars. It is perhaps not so clear cut on Jupiter.
