I think it already is. Good enough always drives out better if there's
a price differential.

Anyone know if the Foveon sensor outputs 8 bits-per-color or 16?

My understanding is that the quantization space is 12 bit per component.

The Sigma site does say 12 bit and it's supposed to be the same
sensor. I got my number from the LL article.

A Fovean sensor stacks three photosites in each pixel location on the
sensor, with a color filter between them. I don't know precisely how
they order the stack, but it would make sense to order it blue, green,
red since short wavelengths are more easily absorbed than

Incredible IQ from a PS, everything else is a problem. If I had a
$1000 to spend I'd think about it (but probably end up with a K5).
Good article, nice comparison images.

Interesting camera. Brilliant on one or two points, mediocre on most
others. I dislike the push button control layout as it is presented,
but it might seem quite different when the camera is in your hands.
The article cocks up the whole discussion of pixels, spatial
resolution, antialiasing
I have to say those image-quality comparisons are mind-boggling. -T

That's what I thought, but that's about the only thing boggling in a
positive way about this camera. It amounts to a one-trick boat-anchor
for me.
And did our very own Dave write this article? I saw so many spellos I
started to collect them:
catagory
homogenious
competative
pubish
creaping
That's the real frustration here. The IQ is wonderful and everything
else is a mess. Even though I would get various degrees of results, I
wouldn't hesitate to take any of my cameras out on a photographic
mission. Not this one.
