Don't some of the Fujifilm cameras use this design? Purportedly their colour rendition is meant to be very good.

The Foveon sensor is 3 x 4.7 MP, so the way I see it, it records 3 colour layers with a sum total of 14 MP, processes them and outputs a 4.7 MP file. Or have I got this wrong? The 14MP tag seems to be just marketing hype to me.
