For those interested in Digital camera sensors, here is Foveon's production X3
technology sensor used in the Fuji digital camera. It is a 10Megapixel (RGB)
sensor or 3.4Megapixel full spectrum sensor. Note manufacturers always spec the
RGB pixel count to get better sounding numbers.

The size is 20.7mmx13.8mm. Which is about one third of the area of 35mm film.
If built in a full 35mm size sensor it would be about 30 (RGB) megapixels! It
might become slower in that size because readout is serial. At 50mW power, for
the current design this would not be a limitation for a larger sensor.
Unfortunately they do not give the spectral response for color sensors.
