That perhaps it isn't vaporware, that perhaps there will actually be a camera produced using the full frame 6MP Phillips chip that Pentax was supposed to be using in their D-SLR before they canned it. From the site: PMA 2002: We got our hands on Contax's long awaited N Digital D-SLR today. This camera has been on the books now since July 2000. For those who don't know or don't remember the N Digital is based around the full frame (36 x 24 mm) Philips 6 megapixel chip. At last years PMA Contax had a plastic mock-up, this year we find real working pre-production models which shoot, review and have working menu systems. Contax seem confident that the camera isn't too far away. My concern is that they'll be bringing an expensive six megapixel to market at least a year too late. I think he's hit the nail on the head, and that was Pentax's concern, too. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: Sigma SD9 w/Foveon Chip
No I don't .. I have no memory. That coupled with paying very little attention to the discussions of the MZ-D, leaves me essentially ignorant of circumstances surrounding the camera.

Re: Sigma SD9 w/Foveon Chip
The Contax camera is only arriving now, in March. It was supposed to be on the market last November, and now it's also going to be a really tough sell (even for Zeiss fans with deep pockets) when compared to 6Mp cameras from the Japanese (Pentax excluded, naturally :-( ). Personally, I think Pentax were right not to proceed with the MZ-D as specified. Sure, it would have been nice to have the camera, but wouldn't we be here complaining that it cost four times as much as the Canon D-60 if Pentax had gone ahead with it...? That said, I won't be looking at digital until I can get a full-frame one, and that's always going to be expensive (in IC production, the physical size of the device is the biggest cost, not the number of transistors or sensors or whatever on it). Okay, I might be tempted to settle for a 1.2x multiplier if the price was right, but that's still a way off..
