That's easy - Sigma lies. They pretend that you can take a single
pixel and split it up into three colors and have that be three pixels.

They don't lie. It's a different kind of sensor with sufficiently
different kinds of pixels and properties that the sensor megapixel

They lie.

When you measure the size of the image it produces you see that it is
4.6 mega pixels. That is the cold, hard fact. No amount of sophisty,
lies, or self-serving bull**** will alter that fact.

Of course it doesn't. But I was talking about the image implications
of that fact.

There aren't any. Sigma lies.

People are using image MP as a measure of image
quality.

People do all manner of stupid things. That doesn't justify lying.
