What ever happened to the Foveon X3 chip?
There for a while, I couldn't pick up an magazine without hearing how great the Foveon X3 chip is. Now I haven't heard anything about it for about a year or so.
Is it vaporware? Are any cameras out there using the chip? Anybody here have one? |

Thanks for the link, Yuanji. Wow... they want almost $1400 for that unit, without a lense. (and I understand it's plastic, too.) I used that model number and read some reviews. Not very impressive at all.
I also got the impression that is the only maker out there using the X3 chip. What a shame. They sould be treating it like a vid card chip, and let others also build using it. I wonder if they'll update the chip as from what I just read, almost all newer cameras kick it's behind, and it's still an 3MP unit... Interesting... |
