What are you talking about?
I am not sure this is at all relevant.
Are you sure about any of the above?
If you cannot understand what I wrote, I can send you an audio version.
What anger? About dumb posts?
About .5 seconds until a jpeg appears; about 4 until the buffer (one-shot) clears, and another second until you can actually take the next shot. Jpeg, by comparison, is right there.
So you could be right.

Sandy was asking about CMOS, but I never understood why.
Let's not get sloppy here. It has 2X the green pixels and 4X and R and B pixels of a 1.5MP Bayer.
I quite agree.
And we answered her question. What is garvic going on about?
Precisely right. My "three times as much of everything relevant" may have been oversimplified, or maybe was just simplified because the total of the red, green, and blue is all that's relevant to the pixel count.
Sandy asked a simple question, we provided answers with good specificity to the question. I don't recall any case to be made, nor arguments.
So you would say the SD9 is the "beta" for SD10? That view is somewhat more plausible.
Perhaps not, but it sure is a cool gift. And the colors come out better, too. Do you have any theory as to why this change, which seems to have also required that the flash be updated to have a shorter wavelength assist lamp?
There was not a real hardware update, just some tweaking that made the SD10 a better camera in several ways.
Why do many non-Sigma SD9/10 users perceive camera gear as an either/or situation? To learn more about the camera, why not buy a SD10 with a 50mm EX lens. Use it, use SPP, you'll understand what we SD9/10 users know and appreciate. You don't have to surrender you other systems. You only have one camera? Why not more than one for various situations?
That's the key. Who will change it? CCD manufacturers? Not so likely. See my PMA report in my PMA gallery for more as to the basis of my interest.
No problem Patrickh, what I don't want is the mis-perception and mis-understanding.
I think there are just too many of these OT lately from people who just want to spend their coffee break times bashing anything foveon and this thread especially, is pure malicous put down...you use d70 and you must know what is like to be attack by the users of a certain popular brand, just because it is not their brand...we, in this forum are generally not as impatient or prickly (as one of the other brand user said behind our back), the fact is the opposite...trolls life expectancy in this forum last much longer than others...just ask the former trolls like garvic7.
Yes - probably CCD manufacturers will play a big role in changing this. Sony has been investing heavily in CMOS sensors for a while now in support of the cell phone market.
Restating the obvious for readers tuning in to this CCD vs CMOS discussion, Foveon is obviously an innovative "small player" in the CMOS market. I think a key innovator.
