Beyond CCD
Filed in archive Cameras by John Mello on August 26, 2007

If you're interested in cutting edge technology, you may want to check out the Side-By-Side column at DCViews that compares the Sigma SD14 digital SLR with the Fuji S5 Pro. What's so unusual about these cameras? Unlike a typical digital camera, these models use an exotic X3 processor produced by Foveon, of Santa Clara
, Calif., to capture their images. The X3 processor emulates the way film captures color in a shot to produce superior tones and color detail in its images. By the way, the story behind Foveon is an interesting one, so interesting, in fact, that the Boswell of Silicon Valley George Gilder wrote a book about the company called Silicon Eye.Permalink: Beyond CCD
