Fuji has developed a new sensor technology that utilizes 'organic cells' stacked in layers similar to the Foveon technology. So far, only a monochrome device, but they expect to have full color in a couple years. Advantage of the new sensor is reportedly triple the light sensitivity of presently used sensors, better color accuracy and color detail that matches luminence detail.
Anyone remember the old Kodak/Nikon DCS 200M? It had the capability of using a rotating color filter to make color images with a monochrome sensor. Crude, but the resulting images were spectacular!

| It's interesting that, in a monochrome device, one of the touted advantages is "better color accuracy". Sort of a "cart before the horse" statement, huh? :-) |

The technology sounds promising (I've read about it at other sites), better as Foveon. Fuji's advantage this system can be used on CCD and CMOS designs. But Canon is also working on this, not much public yet about that.
Good to see Fuji work on the stuff they are good at (color reproduction on a medium).
