To be clear: I'm not saying those Foveons are without flaws under all conditions. Dynamics are poor, backlight behaviour can ruin a whole picture when shooting into direct sun. But to look at a picture and just for the sake of it find a tiny color drift in shadow areas, calling them blotches and owning a Camera brand only to well known for banding sensors is just as pathetic as ridiculous. The only excuse: he doesn't know better.

 

I haven't seen any great pictures of BC in the whole time I've been a member of this forum but sitting there and mouthing around, trying always to find negative sides on other people's stuff - how negative a person can be? So, I tried again to talk to him like a normal person, but it's no point.

 

DxO will not test Foveons. Like Adobe they are dedicated to Bayer pattern sensors only. Also, it's no point debating about Foveons - those sensors shine in few disciplines. If one can manage to avoid the risky sides it's possible to get outstanding pictures of some sceneries. However, the cameras to me are "only" an extension of another system, I would not rely on them exclusively. Processing time of a picture is much longer than of other cameras and so far I haven't found a workaround to look and select the JPGs out of the camera and work with RAW, making JPG and RAW a couple like RAW and XMP. I'm just saying the dp 0 comes at a price other companies can't make the lens alone.
