Quite how many I am at a loss to say but the reduction must be significant given that you essentially need a block of 4 pixels to generate accurate colour. Simplistically that would suggest a reduction of perhaps 50% to 75% although it would be good to know what it really is. I know this will raise all sorts of comments on the wonderful algorithms used in the processing, however that doesn't change the fact that interpolated data, however well it is done, is not the same as real data - we are essentially back to the point bglick made, correctly, about scanning.
