Dear All,
          I was just reading some of the more recent posts and a few 
mentioned the Foveon X3 chip. I've heard of it but didn't know what it 
is so i had a good read of their website. Foveon seem to make some major 
claims about how their chip is like film and produces results comparable 
to film. I can seem how the chip could be much better than an ordinary 
CCD or CMOS chip but am a little dubious. Has anyone any experience in 
using the Foveon X3 chip and if so does it produce better, more 
emulsion-like quality images? What about capturing highlights and 
lowlights too? Sorry, just curious! Thanks in advance.

All the best,
Gareth.
