Digital BW, The Print

Having just come from a lecture by Carver Mead, CEO of Foveon, I think that its going to be the camera of the future.
I'm not tch inclined, but the gist of what he spoke about and showed slides is..
With traditonal CCD's each pixel records R G or B, then math algorythms, figure out 2/3rds of the missing information to construct the entire photo.  With the CCD's that we are used to, only 1/3 of picture info is real, the rest is mathematically figured out or guessed at.  With the Foveon silicon chip, it acts like a piece of Kodachrome film, where there are 3 color reading levels in layers, just like traditional film.  therefore no information has to be guessed at to fill in the entire photo, its all there.  The reason they say 3 times the quality of the conventional chip is that all of the RGB info is recorded, not 1.3 of the info, and then mathematiccaly guessed at to fill in the photo.
Hope some of this makes sense to you.
The new Sigma camera coming out with the X3 chip will be under $3000.00 and be the equivalent in megapixels , compared to actual megapixels in Nikon or Canon cameras, it will be 10.2 megapixels.  He said they were printing 48 inch prints from the Sigma, and compared it to the quality of single capture backs on a Hasselblad.
Camers should be available May 1st in stores.
Lets wait and see!
