Digital BW, The Print

Austin, I don't know how to more clearly state it. The foveon was
sharper and the overall quality was better than the D60. Simple as that.
You must have been a clinton lawyer. Always want to know what "is" is.
You know a good quality print from an average print. You know a great
quality print from a very good quality print. I'm not putting the foveon
chip against a 4x5 scanning back. Overall it simply was better overall
than the canon D60, which I own, and love.

C'mon Austin, you know perfectly well what I mean here.

Sharpness is an exceptionally bad metric.  It may

How about ability to separate out fine detail then? More detail than the
other one. 

Overall quality. Resolution, sharpness, detail, the picture any
professional would choose over the other one in a side
