I see George Gilder is touting them.-g- If that ain't the kiss of death I don't know what is. My professionals are buying up the new Nikon: nikonusa.com It hit the price point of a traditional camera and they can use their existing lenses. It has a quality in reproduction that is comparable to scanned film which is all the quality most of them need. They got tired of waiting for the Foveon cameras to come down to a price point they could justify jumping in. This Nikon does fantastic B&W images which means the bulk of my biz, B&W film and printing, is dead meat. Once the camera is profiled for color, the color reproduction is quite good. The color space that offset printing is done in (CMYK) is actually quite narrow in comparison to RGB (monitors, scanners, cameras, slides) and all you have to do to be usable in the commercial world is to reproduce the colors in that space. It may be a long time before a digital image can really match the optimal quality of film, it can certainly match and surpass the quality of film and prints that people are accustomed to obtaining.
