Well, according to a hands on test by a gentlemen who has owned and tested most of the major digital cams, the Sigma is SHARPER than the original Foveon with which he was able to make quite a bit of money. For $1500 street, I think this is gonna be a bomb tool to have. It doesn't have to be in the same class as the Kodak for the Sigma to be an awesome camera. And I think it's being underestimated based on speculation of the specs rather than results. Then again, while I appreciate the quality of a 4x5, I manage to "make do" with the results of 35mm and 2 1/4. I might manage to be pretty happy for maybe $2000 camera and lenses rather than the much higher price of the Kodak. With the Kodak I'd need to not only spend the $4000 on the camera but then come up with the bucks for the Nikon lenses as my Canon glass won't fly. There is always something bigger, better, faster, etc.. I'll test the Sigma and see if it meets my needs. And not worry about what I could buy if I spent another few thousand bucks.
