NG camera. The company claims that enlargements from the SD9 exceed the
NG quality of 35mm film.
IIRC the Foveon chip is so far only 3.4 MP or such, even if true
megapixels and not interpolated megapixels from normal digicams.
I don't see how it could be better than film as even with 2700
Over the years there have been millions of improvements announce that
weren't improvements at all. I will withhold my opinion until I see the
results from a production camera. Until then it is just more vaporware.

From the article:
The result is sharper, more accurate images. The file-sizes of the
digital pictures are also smaller, which means more can be stored by the
camera. The company claims that enlargements from the SD9 exceed the
quality of 35mm film.
Unless they also have a new compression
The camera has been produced. A friend is working on a project in Santa
Clara, and has used the camera. There are a number of images on line
that were made with this particular unit, although I can't find the URL
right now. If all goes well, I may have a chance to see it for myself
in the next
I suggest you check out the Foveon web site to get a better, or perhaps
different, perspective on the product. I have seen photos made with the
Sigma camera, and made with other cameras as a comparison, and, to these
old eyes, the Foveon photos look a lot more detailed and saturated.

There is a new Sigma SLR that uses this chip. It got rave reviews

bad this Sigma doesn't take K-mount lenses like the first couple of Sigma
SLRs did.
