No, the smart move would be to use a less oddball sensor and put some
quality control into their manufacturing.

It would be nice but they'd have to be licensed to do so.

Well, they're building lenses with those same brand mounts, and building the
Kodak DCS Pro 14/c with Canon mount, it should be an easy step to build a
body with the Foveon sensor and Canon/Nikon mounts...
If they can reverse engineer the lens mounts, why can't they reverse
engineer the camera mount? For fear of running afoul of confidentiality
agreements between Canon and Kodak?

Dear Americans,

Please remove AUS.PHOTO from these FOVEON cross-postings. It is unreasonably
annoying to read the same rubbish each week let alone have to wade into the
same sarcasm each week.

It's unreasonable for you to not learn how to use a killfile.

It's even more unreasonable to blame this entire thing on Americans. These
are international forums.
