You are confused. TECHNICALLY it is a 3 MP chip. It has the exact same
quality that anybody elses 9 meapixel chip has. That is the whole point
behind the foveon chip.

THE FOVEON HAS THE SAME QUALITY AS ANYBODY ELSE'S 9 MEGAPIXEL CHIP. THAT
IS THE WHOLE
POINT BEHIND THE FOVEON PHILOSOPHY. IT IS DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY.

I doubt you probably could.

BUT I'VE MADE COMPARISONS WITH FILM. FILM IS NOT BETTER IN ANY WAY
