Digital Picture frames ill out sell digital cameras 6. Kodak will be saved by its new sensor .... But more to the point: " Sigma will likely introduce its long-awaited DP1, with a 14MP Foveon full-frame sensor " That's 1.7 crop rangefinder cameras where the term he's using "full frame" I cant future out but its close enough to 1.5 for me to be highly useable, He thinks Cosina will come out with a digital body for m with this full frame 14MP Foveon full-frame sensor in it. Full 1.7 crop frame I still don't get it. Does he mean bigger than 4/3's then I get it. Almost. Here's what DP says about it I'll read that now. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0703/07030807sigmadp1.asp Sigma knows how to design a dangerous looking camera body I love it! THE FIRST DIGITAL CAMREA EVER MADE kind of look to it. Digital Retro. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
