Sorry, this video talks about the gamut of displays, but not about cameras
and whether they have a gamut or not.
Simply repeating that "cameras do not have a color gamut" is not furthering
this discussion. Please stop. By definition, the raw outputs of a sensor are
not colors and therefore do not represent a color gamut.
Fine. That only goes to that stage of the process and offers no insight into
how the sensor responses affect the gamut of the colors derived from the
sensor outputs.
The discussion has moved beyond the true but uninformative statement that
cameras (sensors to be precise) do not have a color gamut , to considering
how the gamut of sensor outputs may restrict the gamut of reported colors
when converted to a color space.
I would add the further note that sometimes the sensor gamut is the limiting
factor on the final color output, and sometimes the color space (e.g. sRGB)
is the limiting factor.
