Sorry if this is a duh question, but is the X3 sensor the same as the Foven (?) sensor

The only downside of this X3 sensor, is its noise figure at red channel, due to its position which is layered below the blue & green pixels. The light hitting the red pixel will be lower in intensity.
yeah, Jed, the best is to get the camera at hand, and test it ourself. I will wait till Nikon (or Canon...) using this kind of sensor and able to compete with SD9 in term of price, then I will buy one. In the meantime I will refrain from buying any DSLR.Originally posted by Jed
While in theory this might make sense, Phil Askey finds otherwise in his review. He finds the opposite in fact; the noise is evenly spread across the three channels for the SD9, but most evident in the red channel in the D60.
Foveon were also at pains to belay this worry when they first unveiled the X3.
Unfortunately at that time there will be X9 technology but not totally mature, so u have to wait another generation, and it goes on and on... I would say someone who is happy with film still can find fun. No need to plan a roadmap for DSLR unless you feel the desire to own one. In that case, get it TODAY and enjoy shooting.Originally posted by tsdh
