Time to declare victory, again.

B&H used to designate the Foveon sensor's MPs using a "3" in the upper
right hand corner of their quite famous ad format. Those days are
gone. Previously they didn't realize that Foveon 3.43MPs were full
color MPs while all Bayer cameras list monochrome MPs. After emailing
them on many occasions about this gaff, which was clearly unbecoming
of a knowledgable camera outlet, their latest catalog corrected the
errors in many of their ads. Even their Bayer ads now correctly
indicate Bayer MPs as only recorded interpolated resolutions. Great
job B&H!!! Your late model descriptions are all exactly right!
Quoting your excellent Summer 2004 sales catalog...

If true, then B&H is taking extreme measures to try and dump their dusty,
stagnant stock of Sigma crapola...

I can imagine. You're a boring asshole and I bet that "many" was something
like 12000. They probably did it just to bloody well shut you up.
They still won't sell them though.

George, You are such an ass. Do you pester everybody that way ? I pity
all of (or any) your friends. They must think you are a a**hole for sure.
The rest of us should email them too saying it's a lie and it needs to be
withdrawn.

Regardless of why, the largest reputable outlet in photography now
lists all Bayer resolutions as interpolated, and the SD10 is listed as
13.72MP interpolated.

I find it strange that you hope this.

The person posting under the name of George or Georgette Preddy (and
other pseudonyms) has an ungrounded but zealous faith that current
implementation of the Foveon chip is superior to all other chip
technologies. He will cite portions of reviews to ostensibly support his
claims, and will repeat, ad naseum, complete lines of out-of-context
material.

His claims may well be ignored, or at the very least verified since most
of them are extreme distortions and some are out and out fabrications."

Moreover, "Mr." "Preddy" has claimed to be a photographer (pro!), but
cannot bring himself to post a single picture with EXIF info that he
shot himself, in spite of repeated requests and challenges to do so.

Apparently he loathes anything related to Canon and loves everything
about Sigma cameras and lenses. His "claims" may be ignored, and he is
doing Sigma, and anyone related to the Foveon chip, no good at all by
arousing ire, increasing the N/S ratio, and generally spamming this
newsgroup.

That's the same math Fuji SuperCCD use to make their 6 MP sensor dither a 12
MP image

This is from the same B&H Photo that call 120 size film 120mm.They should
fire their ad writer, but he is probably the bosses son-in-law...

Um... At least the Fuji interpolation is useful (and Fuji also tells that
there are 6 million pixels recorded and 12 in the "picture file"). In order
to make the image viewable it needs to be rotated in addition to the
traditional bayer interpolation. Doubling the number if pixels isn't
necessary, but some additional pixels have to be put in in order to not lose
any recorded information.
