New Foveon sensor for digital camcorders

So, I'm a bit confused. I'm not finding the reference supporting your claim. Since I do _try_ to follow these things closely, I'd appreciate your pointing out the specific reference for me. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, I really do want to understand your point. Foveon is trying to hype their products by tripling the number of actual pixels in their marketing language. What they call a 4.5MP sensor is actually a 1.5MP sensor that detects three color bands at each pixel. -- John P Sheehy |

Change the meaning of pixel so that it has nothing to do with with spatial resolution anymore, say you have more pixels, hoping that the reader thinks it means more spatial resolution. Truly Pathetic. -- John P Sheehy |

What they call a 4.5MP sensor is actually a 1.5MP sensor that detects three color bands at each pixel. As opposed to other manufacturers calling sensing 1 color band, sensing a full color pixel. You are wrong again, as usual. Other manufacturers don't say they sense full color per sensel. All they say is that they output an RGB pixel, regardless of the filters used. Bart |

Care to name any camera maufcaturer doing that with their SLR cameras? The Foveon 5M (thier P&S sensor) is a 6MP chip, not 4.5MP. It outputs 6M pixels (3000 x 2000) from 1.5M complete RGB triples, which is exactly the same as the Canon 10D but with DRAMATICALLY lower noise and increased DR. 1.5 M complete RGB triplets are 1.5 megapixels - not 3 and certainly not 6 megapixels. Foveon continues to be ridiculously conservative in their MPs rating compared to Bayer manufactures who often list 800% interpolatively upscaled images as the actual MP count (Fuji)!! Not only bull**** but also completely off-topic (this group is about 35mm film equipment) bull****. -- Sander +++ Out of cheese error +++ |

My 1 megapixel fuji doesn't have the noise in low light either. Oh yeah.
Either does my 2 megapixel fuji. "George Preddy" wrote in message om... wrote in message . ..
