equivalent (like a Foveon, if it were ever perfected).


I have been using the original 3-chip Foveon (1999) for 4.5 years now. I have 
also experienced the SD-9 with the X3 chip, which I suggested they develop.

What aspect are you referring to that needs perfecting? It outperfoms all 6 
megapixel monochips right now in all respects except for ISO higher than 400. 
In fact, it gives the 11 megapixel Canon a run for it's money.

I can't think of a better camera for Black and White work for less than 
$1,000 AND it has the best color response out there. It's unbeatable for Macro Work 
and Sigma lenses are very good and 1/3 the price of Nikon/Canon.
