I thought the main issue with wide angle lenses was related to the fact that
the sensor isn't capturing the full RGB for each pixel and the interpolation
only works well when the light is coming in at a right angle to the sensor
(or close to a right angle). Which is why you see the bands of Red, Green,
and Blue along the edges when using a wide angle. That's based on my
relatively weak understanding of the issues so I could be 100% wrong here.
But, if that is the case, then I'd think that the X3 chip would produce much
better results with wide angle lenses than a conventional sensor.
