*I'm wondering how a pixel camera will ever reach film quality?*

The Foveon analog chip camera already exceeds film quality – in short it is better than traditional methods of image capture. That is what all the excitement is about.

Computers are generally digital in nature (except for emerging analog technologies). The problem is that we live in a world full of shades and hues, objects of irregular nature and generally random shapes. This is not a nice world for a computer to snap a “true to life” picture. This is where Foveon saunters into focus. Their analog chips allow for the randomness of life to be accounted for.

Period.

Lets get back the NSM's real excitement – Information/Internet appliances and systems on a chip.
