New camera using Foveon sensor
Very cool news from
DP Review
A couple of years ago, a California startup
Foveon developed a new kind of imaging sensor which stacks the Red, Green and Blue detectors on top of each other rather than side by side. This allows much more resolution for a given pixel count.
A couple of cameras have been made with the new chipset but they have always been high-end 'professional' units. Now, Polaroid is coming out with an under-$400 camera using this new technology.
