Foveon sells some very high-end digital equipment. I was looking at one of
their studio cameras that cost about $50,000 US. /jim

Hi,
A new kind of image sensor has been announced by a company called Foveon
that captures each color in a single pixel - no filters as we use in CCD
imaging and no matrix as is used in color cameras. It looks fascinating
and
some folks are seriously excited about it. See
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0202/02021101foveonx3.asp
for some details. It was interesting to note that one of the chip
geometries is 2304 x 1536 x 9 micron in a 25.5 mm diagonal chip. I wonder
what the Q.E. is?
John
