Immi, From your post on the NSM thread: And Kodak’s been keeping an eye on Foveon’s progress. Kodak executives say they have talked with Foveon about possibly using Foveon sensors in some of Kodak’s digital cameras. Madhav Mehra, manager of Kodak’s professional digital-capture group, told reporters, “We’ve been very aware of what they’re (Foveon) doing and monitoring their progress.” If the Foveon proves to be a practical success, Mehra said, “it’s very significant.” I believe the key is to get one mainstream OEM; Nikon, Cannon, Sony, Kodak, Olympus. Assuming that X3 meets expectations, then competitive pressure will probably create, at least, Foveon digicam alternatives within the lines of all the other OEM's. Other concerns are the strength of Foveon patents (is there prior art?). Is there an easy work around? I'm still of the mind-set that Foveon is a longshot, but if it becomes the standard, it could be VERY valuable. John
