Hi, I dont want to troll sigma, I am a big fan of their inovating film-like sensor & will surelly buy a DP1 for landscape photography. But I wondered why is the foveon sensor bad in low light. Is it due to the smaller sensor size regarding other DSLR sensors ? olympus 4/3 are smaller, but doing ok, not ? (I am not talking about the dynamic range of course). What could Sigma do to improve this weakness that surely affects the AF accuracy also on DP1 ?
