No, I've never touched a Sigma camera. But I have seen them and seen the images that come out of them. Spin it any way you will, but they're still 3.42MP with downright crappy color rendition. And, they're outrageously priced for what they are. I'm sory that you can't see reality. |

.. . In article , says... You've obviously never used a Foveon sensor camera or have seen the photos. That would put him at an advantage, "Preddy" Stavrakoglou. -- http://www.pbase.com/bcbaird/ Please Brian, you can do better than that. |

And it has pretty poor colour response as well - the channels have a lot of redundnacy in them, in that the green channel, for example, isn't actually that fussy about not capturing red and blue as well, so you end up having to subtract out weighted versions of each channel from the others. This has unpleasant results for the signal/noise ratio (noise stays the same, signal gets smaller). If only silicon color separation were more exact, the whole three-layer sensor concept would have been wildly successfuly. |

... In article , Peter A. Stavrakoglou snip And, they're outrageously priced for what they are. I came across an eBay listing for an SD10. It's been re-listed twice after the original listing, and g-d knows why he didn't take the $1000 offer, in the first listing, and run, since he didn't even get as high an offer in the second listing as he did in the first. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3873164808 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3875133617 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3876716626 B&H's used department would likely offer about $650 for the lot, and sell it for around $1300, with some sort of a guarantee, so $900-1000 would be a fair eBay price. I hope that his reserve price isn't the same as the "Buy It Now" price! Used equipment of any genre doesn't fetch much more than 60% of the new price, usually closer to 50%. People look at what they paid for something, and figure that they are entitled to get 75% of what they paid back when they sell it used. |

You'll probably find that ('any genre') to be untrue in a couple of cases: - items old enough to have quite some historical value - collectors' items no longer freely available - well-treated, undamaged items of high quality workmanship --- while you probably won't make any money, you can get much closer to a break even. I hear-tell Canon L lenses are in that class. -Wolfgang |
