2004: Foveon today announced that Polaroid's new x530 digital camera
will use a 1/1.8" size X3 Direct Image Sensor. The x530 will have
a three times optical zoom lens and is designed around a typical point-and-shoot
digital camera body, similar to the Canon A70. The sensor used is Foveon's
'X3 5M' Direct Image CMOS Sensor (three layers of 1.5 million pixels each)
which is the industry standard 1/1.8" Type size (7.1 x 5.3 mm effective).
In a big step forward for Foveon the x530 can now produce JPEG images
in-camera. Exclusive: We have some images of a
design model of the x530.
