Join us us for a first look at a remarkable new digital photography
technology. Last February Foveon announced a digital photography breakthrough, the first full resolution color instant capture camera, their X3 Sensor. It caused quite a stir, sparking everything from shock, to admiration, and disbelief. At Photokina in Germany last month, Sigma began showing the shipping version of the camera using the Foveon sensor (due later this month) with a surprising $1800 price. Dick Lyon is the Chief Scientist at Foveon and is responsible for developing the color science behind the camera system. Steve has been consulting with Mr. Lyon and Foveon for many years and has been testing the X3 technology for over a year. Steve and Dick will talk about their perspectives on the camera and this breakthrough technology. Most of the time will be given to Mr. Lyon's presentation on the technology.
