SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Foveon Inc. has built a high-end digital still camera that aims to rival the quality of analog film. The new startup is backed by Carver Mead, the inventor of the gallium-arsenide transistor, the silicon compiler and the artificial retina. Although Mead is not revealing details of the three analog VLSI image chips that are to be used in place of a charge-coupled device (CCD), he claims the Foveon camera spits out a 48-Mbyte, 4,000- x 4,000-pixel Photoshop file.


One picture per flash card?
Wait, they're saving the image to disk...

"Foveon's camera saves its images instantly to disk at any shutter speed and with no interpolation whatsoever," said Mead
