Re: [Digital BW] Foveon/X3/Sygma (OT, sorry)

Did anyone read the article about Foveon chips in the NY Times? A
Japanese company is using this new chip to manufacture a camera.
Kodak was quoted to say that this new invention will allow resolution
better than film. Is this what we are waiting for? The Japanese
camera will be $3,000 and Kodak was quoted to say $1,000. I have
never spent $1,000 on a conventional camera body yet! But I almost
probably will with digital technology, because I find it so
fascinating.
