True, but that's not stopping people from making very good looking videos with 20 MP cameras. Most people won't notice the difference and those who do should buy an Ursa.

The difference between Bayer and and Pixel shift is rarely even noticeable, and almost never noticeable without direct comparison.... Bayer is pretty good.
Yeah, IME Pixel Shift is noticeable mostly for fine patterns, but I barely ever use it because I don't quite shoot anything that needs such level of detail... I think the only time I used a pixel shift image was some macro shot at work because my highest mag lens is 0.5x and wanted the extra oomph. The Bayer pattern works fairly well honestly, the Leica Monochrom has some more resolving power but it isn't
that much of an improvement over, say, the D850.
