As both an amateur photographer and recently an investor in NSM, I agree with your points. The resolution/cost ratio of digital camera's has become quite good for amateurs and consumers. When I first read the Gilder piece on Foveon I was impressed at the possibilities the technology offeres but somewhat taken back at the storage file size. Photo Pro's and serious amateurs will pay $10,000+ for camera toys and will put up with difficulties in processing and delivering the final image. But this market is small. The $200-to-$500 price point for the digital cameras is only part of the picture(sorry). This relatively costless storage and ease of sending snapshots is a bigger factor for consumers. I am sure the camera will do will, but it will be awhile before consumer applications are tenable.
