Just a quick note to let all my visitors know that you WILL experience some downtime on the site over the next 24 hours (when exactly it will take place I'm not quite sure, it should take about two hours total). The downtime is to install the latest version of the site with lots of changes (I'll post a complete list of improvements when the site is live).

Foveon Inc. has built a high-end digital still camera that aims to rival the quality of analog film. The new startup is backed by Carver Mead, the inventor of the gallium-arsenide transistor, the silicon compiler and the artificial retina. Although Mead is not revealing details of the three analog VLSI image chips that are to be used in place of a charge-coupled device (CCD), he claims the Foveon camera spits out a 48-Mbyte, 4,000 x 4,000-pixel Photoshop file.

Steve Sanders posts Agfa CL-50 user review
Steve Just posted another user review, this time it's the Agfa ePhoto CL-50, he says "There are some positives here, really! I bought the camera (tried to get a loaner from Agfa but they said no twice -- guess now I know why) for only $525 from www.ubid.com and there's a $100 mail-in rebate for U.S. buyers until August 31, 1999. $425 for a brand new and fully warrantied 1.3 megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom and 2-inch LCD ain't bad. I would have to recommend that most people spend a little more and get the ePhoto 1680 instead, it just works better. "
