Could very well be the same sensor, since they're both 8M.
It took me a while to understand that the TIFF format incorporated the
temperature balancing, etc. Too bad you can't have that as an option as I
wasted a lot of time experimenting with Wratten filters for monochrome. I've
yet to repeat that exercise with RAW format as I need some tall, fresh bunch
grass as a subject.
