I just received an email ad from Ricoh - the maker of Pentax cameras. 
 

The new K3 mark 3 will feature an APS - C  sensor WITHOUT a Bayer filter array!

DSLR observers should find this interesting- I’d buy one immediately, if I had the dollars. This could potentially eliminate the effects of star color with DSLR observations.
