  FWIW, pixels don’t have to be square or in a grid.

  Some professional cameras take photos with hexagonal pixels, for example

    Really? I thought the Bayer filter was near-universal, and Wikipedia does not list what you just mentioned.

    Anyway, older LCDs in portable color TVs, cameras and camcorders did use that pattern but that’s on the display side.

      You prompted me to look it up and my knowledge is apparently a bit dated on that one

      I’d apparently read about Fujifilm doing this with some of their older CCD based sensors and they shifted away from that ages ago!

        So they probably didn’t output .raw images, I think those are more recent. That would have been a weird use of the file format!

  Pixel just means picture element. Pixels also can be different shapes but squares.

    Pixel art is usually a square grid though
