Polaroid Digital Cameras distributed by plawa. The Polaroid X530 digital camera doesn't make sense. Their marketing says: "wowee look we use this cool 4.5mp foveon sensor (really 1.5mp), at every pixel there is red, green, blue - which is way better than normal" BUT surely that's brilliant so long as you stick to 1.5mp images (so that every pixel is made from red,blue,green) - but then the camera produces 4.5mp images - so they're basically stretching 1 (rgb) pixel into 3 pixels... which seems to totally defeat the purpose of using a foveon sensor...
