No, it should be better than 15MP Bayer. Exactly how much better remains to be seen, but if well executed it should challenge and possibly exceed the A900 and D3x for sheer resolution.So this is equivalent to a 15MP Bayer sensor resolution then?
Thanks for the clarification WRT resolution. Pretty intriguing what Foveon currently can offer (will offer).The DP2S is a 3x4.7MP design. In general, that sensor is thought to be roughly equivalent to a 8-12 MP CFA (depending on the glass, the AA filter in front of the sensor, etc).
A reasonable guess for resolution (as in resolving line pairs) is that this camera will compare favorably with 30-36 MP CFA cameras. In an APS-C body, that's pretty darn good. With regards to RAW support, the current version of SPP is pretty good (and fast). If there is more acceptance of the X3 cameras, perhaps we'll see Apple and Microsoft support the format in their OS (that's what C1 depends on, I believe).
