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.
