Re: Some SD9 Color Accuracy Numbers

If that is true for all cameras, I would say that it is quite important how gracefully the camera handles these errors - i.e. does the overall result look plausible and pleasant to the eye. On average, my experience of the SD9 and the SD14 is that colours sometimes go weird looking to an extant it can't be overlooked. More so than my experience with Bayer cameras.

If Sigma can eventually refine Foveon colour to keep its strengths and avoid the odd breakdowns, it would be a significant step forward.

An example:

Colour can be striking in a special effect kind of way, but this just doesn't look natural to me.
