Subject: Binned color?

Milton:

In making my decision on whether to order a Scorpion so I can remove the IR filter without 

voiding the warranty, I'm faced with a wide array of CCD and CMOS chip choices.  On the 

Astro IIDC website, it says:

"Supports display and capture in color, monochrome, binned 2x2 color, binned 2x2 

monochrome and individual red, green or blue color channels modes."

I thought the color information got lost when binning color chip cameras.  If it isn't in Astro 

IIDC, does one get the benefit of the increased sensitivity of the binned pixels?
