Digital BW, The Print

For all practical purposes Derek, the Foveon 3 megapixel is equal in all
respects to a 9 megapixel chip, because of its unique design. I've I've
seen side by side comparisons of huge enlargements and the foveon is
sharper than the D60. But I have no use for a sigma camera.  Lets see
what the next generation foveon chip will do. I'm simply not interested
in a digital camera replacement for my D60 unless it is a LOT sharper
than the D60, and costs no more than $2500. I simply will wait until
that happens. I'm very happy with my D60.
