New Sensor Has Real Per-Pixel RGB Sensitivity

jonr writes: "Well, the holy grail of digital photography is finally found. A company named Foveon have developed a sensor that captures RGB colours on each pixel. So what you say? Well, for the past 30 years (or since the CCD was invented) we have been using CCD with with red, green & blue sensors (or cyan/magneta/yellow) and then used software to figure out the real colour. But Foveon is the first company to deliver RGB-in-each-pixel sensor. For those of you who are not into digital imaging, this makes a lot of difference, it's would be just as revelutionary if somebody would make a flatscreen with a real colour pixels, instead of the RGB dots. dpreview.com has the scoop. (No, it won't mean the death of film, but I suspect we'll see dramatic improvement in quality)."

oh great, thanks for the tip
no google 10 years ago!

side note :
I don't support the exploitation of animals. Obviously the extreme is impossible. I used to be pretty radical about it, I've softened in my later years. I'll go watch a film but I won't make one. The distinctions get blurred and irrational. It's a somewhat irrational stance anyway. I obviously don't avoid the use of electrical transformers. I just do what feels right and these days don't get into people's faces aboutit.

but no meat, eggs, dairy, fish, wool, leather, gelatine, milk, honey and stuff like that.

I started in the wake of the big African starvations because meat production wastes food & water that people could use. When British pop stars & tv programs were rasiing money for Ethiopia Britain was importing Ethiopian food and that turned my head a bit. The EEC destroys food to stabilise the economy and people go hungry. I dodn't feel it's right so I decided to do something and the first thing you need to change is yourself.

Ten years later here I am still vegan.

I can take the insults and what have you because there's only one way of life and that's your own!
