Hi do you have actual comparison images? I would love to see them.

I have personal experience with those cameras, and in my opinion, they are pretty much equal as far as perceived details are concerned.

I can usually "zoom in" 200% on a Bayer image and 400% on a Foveon/Quattro image before it starts looking bad.

Images taken with either camera need to be good as far as desired focus and exposure are concerned.

There are images on the Flickr site link below.

I see no point in comparing images that have been compressed for online stuff.

I don't always take the exact same image with two different cameras because they usually have different lenses.

The Quattro or Merrill sensor can give the 50 mp Canon a run for the money, and they all have limitations.

The Sigma cameras (not the Bayer ones), have all been crop sensors. A "full frame Foveon" would require the best lenses for best results.

The 5DSR might be found for relatively cheap, it's been in the $1400.00 range a couple of times. Much less than the 5RF or whatever the new one is.
