from the Foveon dept.
Full Story here.
"The Foveon X3 is the world's first color image
sensor that captures red, green and blue light at
each pixel, resulting in brilliantly sharper
images, enhanced color, and freedom from unwanted
"color rainbow" artifacts common in photographs
from today's digital cameras."

| It would be great to see this technology on
cameras made by real companies like Nikon or Canon
or Minolta, instead of on a Sigma. Yet, I don't
think they are far behind - they can't be, in this
race. Go guys! |
Yep..!

| As a film user I am pleased to bits with my 1V,
but if I where to shoot digital, I am sure I
would want Canon to get in to the Foveon X3 bed:-)
This all assumes the technology has no new
problems of its own, it sound brilliant on paper
so far |

| X3 is a brilliant idea superbly executed. Too bad
the same can't be said of the Sigma camera that
houses this gem. Alright, perhaps I'm being a tad
harsh, but I am disappointed that this
breakthrough technology can't be shown in the
best possible light. Canon, Nikon, where are you? -Rip |

| I don't know, innovations from the little guys
keep the big guys honest and on their toes. I'm
sure if the Foveon chip does meet expectations
you will eventually see it in other cameras. On
the other hand it has the possibility of making
Sigma up the quality in its products so it can
become a major player in the big leagues. |
