… Scott: A good and fair appraisal. Myself, I care nothing about speed, noise, resolution or LCDs. Simply, the quality of the overall image. And, I have come to see a common rendering to both the Merrills and Quattros. Different in both models, but common to all images from the model.

… But, shooting in it’s zone, I only see the breathtakingly clean images from the vintage Foveon. Not that I myself have managed to take any of these yet. Hoping to do so one day.

There is, of course, no freedom of speech on this forum as it is subject to T&Cs and moderator policy. I think that is a good thing.

I don't want to see anyone arrested for their political views and in that regard freedom of speech is essential, but it is a double edged sword where the smallest conversation on the most mundane of topics becomes essentially impossible because of trolls, thugs and bullies. Not to mention the absolute bilge of mis-information and malign foreign actors, difficulties protecting minors and minorities and so on.

I have no idea how this can be solved, but while I agree with the high concept of freedom of speech, it is seriously flawed in practice in the online world. No gatekeepers = drowning in swill.
