Looks like Sony and Foveon have some competition.

The SR announcement is somewhat interesting, but not remarkable...
Actually, even DPReview had good things to say about the SuperCCD sensor in the S2 -- that it does indeed resolve more detail than comparable 6MP sensors -- not 12MP mind, but quite a bit more detail than a regular bayer pattern. However, they feel that this only happens at the larger sensor sizes (S2 is a nearly APS sized sensor afterall) and that the SuperCCD arrangement has little benefit for smaller sensor sizes.
Here Eugene, here boy... <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />
And when I say full frame, I mean in comparison to a full frame of 35mm film.
Alex said Canon was the only one with full frame CCD sensors, and that Nikon didn't have any. Which model Nikon does, because I just might be budgeting for a Digital body later this year if they do...
whether or not it's "full frame" ccd i don't know but D100 has a reputation as a kick ass camera.
And when did Fuji start using an F Bayonet lens mount on their digital bodies?
The Kodak isn't shipping yet, iDunno about the other two.
But that Kodak/Nikon thing has a full frame sensor, eh? That's kind of makes my groin tingly...
Foveon needs time to work out licensing.
Foveon needs time to refine the technology.
Foveon needs time for big partners to stop yapping in board rooms.
Even on those big full-frame 11 and 14 mp bayer-pattern sensors, you will still get inaccurate color, moire, and occasional jaggies.

Unless I had a ton of Nikkor lenses, I would definitely choose the Canon for its rugged body.
