Impressive!
Hope it can help to bring the price of Canon's flagship to a more affordable price a little.

was looking at the pics in ACDSEE at full size. very yummy for lack of a better technical term.

Blow them up to full size and you will notice chromatic abberations.

that will be the problem of the lens, not the ccd, right?

I am very impressed by the sharpness and obvious resolving power of the sample photos. Definitely beats any (non-interpolated) image straight out of any other digital camera, even, dare I say, the existing crop of D-SLRs (though post-processing and re-sampling will probably get photos from the latter to a similar quality level). Impressive quality indeed. If only we had some long exposure and high ISO samples, though!

foveon dun have high ISO... only 400 iirc from the specs...
