Sigma Foveon Vs Hasselblad

Really?

A guy who knows what he is doing takes images from two very different cameras, processes them reasonably well, and is surprised when the smaller, cheaper camera does as well or better than the well known and more expensive camera. One would dismiss it completely except that it pretty much is in accord with results from other sources, like Luminous Landscape, etc.

So their tests are useless too? LOL???

Consider that this comparison is from a guy who obviously and truly had both cameras in his possession at the same time and posted images for folks to examine. As in the case of man bites dog, it wouldn't be news if the Hasselblad easily beat the Sigma, would it? And Huff wouldn't post it with those results, would he? So he pretty much agreed?

No one is suggesting that the DP2M is "better" than the Hasselblad. Better is not the word to use for a situation like this.

Second, obviously, a "test" is not a substitute for reality, and no test is perfect. So arguing that it is "useless" is hyperbole and not helpful. lol. In this case it is obvious that the DP2M does very well compared to that Hasselblad.
