Why is that? I have a sd1m and Quattro H.
DA

SD9 was the first of the proper Foveon cameras - Ignoring the Polaroid.

SD9 image quality is stellar

SD1M was a good camera but could not match the unique SD9 look

Quattros aren't proper Foveon sensors

LOL

They are if you use them in Low-Res mode.

Besides, even though my SD Quattro H isn't a camera with a "proper" Foveon sensor, it still makes great photos, with more details in them than my SD1 Merrill could capture. That's one of the many reasons I basically stopped using my SD1 Merrill, when I got my first SD Quattro H. Now I'm on my second SD Quattro H, and I love it. I will keep buying lenses for it until I get an L mount camera. Then I'll use the SA mount lenses I have on the L mount camera with the MC-21 adapter, and start buying some of those wonderful new L mount lenses, like the new 15mm f1.4 fisheye and that little 65mm f2 i. I want to try that amazing 105mm f2.8 DG DN Art macro too (even though now I have a beautiful 105mm f2.8 EX OS macro).
