"With a 1.7x crop factor, the Foveon is a bit smaller than a APS-C sized
sensor. But as Douglas posted, first reviews of the Sigma SD14 (DSLR), which
contains the same sensor, were not very positive concerning the noise issue.
The noise at 1600 was even called to be excessive."

I saw Douglas' posting and I must say, I was very disappointed. I am waiting
for a p/s large CCD camera " Wie ein Hund auf die Wurst", as we said in the
old country- (which means like a dog waits for a sausage). I guess if Sigma
gets the ball rolling other manufacturers will not be too far behind, but
they will not want to compete with themselves and their own DSLR business.
