Long-time Thoughts readers will know one of my other passions is digital photography. I'm drooling in anticipation of reading a (hopefully) positive review of the Fujifilm Finepix S602 Zoom, at which point I'll do anything to get one. Or so I thought - looking at the sample images in this DPReview article had the effect of making me rethink which camera to get. The X3 sensor is mind-boggling...
"As you can see the sensor's ability to capture detailed resolution, both in the grayscale and colour resolution goes way beyond what we could expect from even the best Bayer pattern sensors. Images from the new Foveon X3 sensor are more reminicent of super high quality slide scans, but go even beyond that with no trace of grain. Very impressive. This could be the first sensor to truly surpass film."
What's YOUR ultimate digital camera?
