Discovering the SD15...

The greens here do have rather a SD9 greyness to them. In fact the whole image looks to have very greyish, low contrast look. I think this is likely to more a processing choice than the sensor.

My sense is that Foveon colour becomes more believable and more "Bayerish" with every Foveon generation. The SD9 in particular is peculiar, the SD14 can do nice looking colour if you can tame its tendency to green-yellow overall casts. But for me all the early cameras tended to do odd things to some colours and tended to respond dramatically to the colour temperature of the light. I don't like my SD9 or Sd14 in warmish light, it gets far to yellow/warm looking for my taste. The newer cameras, incl the SD15 seem to have a much cooler rendition that I prefer. The quattros seem to be the most "normal" of all. Some people might think they are too Bayer like?

Dave, if you ever feel like buying the SD10 I think your color complaints will vanish.

Good to hear you guys are still hard at work with your dev work, is any kind of progress report hint possible?

If you are referring to the shots that I included with my previous post, I have the picture settings at -.6 saturation. It was one of the things I changed, right out of the box. Generally speaking, I find most cameras over saturate.

Do you have a calibrated monitor?
