Chris,

Thank you for the quick answer. But it doesn�t make sense.
    ==> No, Bayer has 1 color sensor at each site, as does Fuji. <==

One sensor site maps to one image pixel. Each image pixel has three color channels (RGB). A sensor site has to have at least three sensor elements to detect three colors. Foveon is unique in that the elements are stacked (layered) vertically. All others have the elements on a horizontal axis at the image plane. A sensor site can have more than three elements, but not less. Let�s ignore medium and large format digital for now.

My D1X is tri-linear and has three elements. It is not obsolete. A D100 and all other Nikons I am aware of have four elements (Bayer). Foveon has three elements except in their marketing material. Fuji does not use Bayer, though some have (incompletely) described it as Bayer at 45 degrees. Fuji has at least three color sensitive elements. Fuji S2 has an additional element dedicated to luminosity. Fuji S3 will have one for normal luminosity and one for highlight luminosity.

Can we try again please?

Cheers, Rags :-)
