Yes, I think they do protest too much. I suppose I appreciate their zeal in trying to protect me from myself. And maybe I don't have a clue but I very much like my SDXX cameras. And for me that is enough.
Nice try.
There is no such thing as truly. Megapixels is defined - it is not a law of nature how to count.
it? Do you mean the notion of megapixels or do you mean the Foveon sensor?
Now - what has superior to do with megapixel counting? None - that I am aware of. The SD14 is exactly the same camera no matter how you count the pixels on its sensor.
Hmmmm ... the only real threat is age. Eventually the day will come.
I had to look that up. Belittle is a synonym.
What inferior product?
Thats fully possible. But - why do you care?
I try not to assume motives or judge others' intentions, but I too am somewhat mystified by the zeal in that continuing discussion. From a strictly scientific POV and IF a relatively undisputed definition were possible (how many 150 post threads to date?) I guess I couldn't object to a gentle tug on the reins when one or another of us got artificially excited about the odd pixel here or there. But I just don't see that that the presumably honest differences of opinion as to the unrefereed terminology to include those which choose to portray Sigma/Foveon favorably against the benchmarking of Bayer technology rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors against the consumer. That poor so and so called the customer, by the way, seems to fall in and out of favor in these exchanges - one minute being defended against the Sigma use of the language (inter alia) and the next being dismissed as irrelevant to the discourse.
That is "truly" the most bizarre reply I have ever seen to a post in here. Was it some sort of class assignment? An exercise in finding fault where none exists?Nice try.
But being one of those that discuss megapixels I must say you missed
by a mile or two

constant? The pixel discussion here is much less constant than the
red detectors on a Bayer CFA sensor. Great holes where none exists.

The megapixel threat I have never heard of.

It was meant to be bizarre. That was its only purpose.
Hmmmm ... do you really believe that?
No harm meant - and I hope Ronald forgives me for being bizarre. He has nearly the same name as me after all.

And now - it does not matter. Our king today is just remnant from the past. He gets some millions of money each year to himself and his family. Sad story really.

Sandy, It makes sense to me. What you are saying is that, to you, it looks like it wouldn't matter what camera he used, the result comes out based on how he wants it to look. So for David, it (again) doesn't matter which camera he uses. I don't know if that is true or not, of course, but it could be true. It could explain a lot. Or he could just take pictures of images that he finds appealing and those particular images are of such a nature that they would not be much affected by whatever sensor/camera he was using.
