You mean the "little faith" comment? heheheh... boy did that cause a stir.
My bet is that with the Foveon chip, you won't have any noise. Tall order, I know!! But that's what I'm shooting for.

Sorry to rain on our parade ... But I am still wondering if the chip is so good, why stop at ISO 400 when others is already at ISO 1600?

Sorry, my bad. I meant to say "and IMHO not all of those handful is good." In other words, we really dont have a good selection of DSLRs to pick from that is unde 2k.

Hah! even if the chip doesn't have any noise you can be sure there'll be plenty in the stf

Agreed, but since when has that ever stopped us before : ))Well I've seen the F717, so there!
But seriously, it's fine to talk about a camera that we know the
specs of / has been seen / has been announced. It's pretty far
fetched to imagine your ultimate digital SLR and compare it to a
real camera.
Now about that new D2X...
Regards!

Am I the only one who thinks that a reflex mirror in a digital camera would be a GOOD idea? No more lost pictures waiting for the autofocus to find a lock! Manually focus, based on our highly-adaptable brain interpolating the reflex image, and catching the picture that an AF would never get. Lock onto a subject that's moving, changing depth, etc. Be able to center the reflex in very low-light with our eye/brain combination, where an AF would never get enough sharpness to lock into a focus.
Seem reasonable?

Do you REALLY want the 1600 that others are offering?
I mean... don't just give it to me because you CAN. Give me something I'd actually want to USE.
Even if true (and I think it may only be Sigma's implementation of it... and don't rule out the improvements they may have made in the tech since announcement time), ISO 400 doesn't bother me. Just lower the shutter speed when needed.

Why not? Why limit taking pictures to only normal day light, when there are just as many good photos to take with only moon light?

I'd not even get that far (moonlit landscape) ISO800 and upwards is very useful for say concert photography, wildlife, stopping motion, hand holding long telephoto lenses and so on especially if the image is reasonably clean like from D60

I don't want a moonlit night full of snow. I'd rather take it with a lower ISO (gawwd, isn't 400 to 800 enough for this?) and have a smoother picture rather than the nearly unusable ones that are being offered.
Mind you, I like what you say in concept. But the reality leaves a lot to be desired. At least to my eye and temperment.
