Yes, I've heard the same thing from lots of different sources. People speak incredibly highly of the brains behind Foveon. The X3 is certainly *possible*, in fact I think it's shipping. It will be interesting to see how much of its promise it delivers. All of it I hope. If so, Sigma will become a force to be reckoned with in the world of camera manufacturers.
