If you have paid any attention to Canon and how they have put a A/D and amplifier on each pixel site, and argurably Canon is the most noise free high ISO DSLRs (yes with a strong AA filter), I was wondering if the Foveon has this setup and if not why not? (yes I know there would be 3/pixel but 14mp is 14mp, 1 layer or 3). Most have to agree the Foveon has the best per pixel quality, or at least equal to or better than any bayer/hybrid I have seen, so if they could conquer the high ISO noise and really have a tiff/jpeg quality that is undeniable for a given (large) size/ISO, there would be no 'mine better - yours not' debate! (IMOH) Foveon would be the winner (and gain wider acceptance)! So does the Foveon have the A/D-amp per pixel OR is the high ISO issue due to getting enough light in the desired light band equalized to the desired amount per layer?
