3MP Bayer image (0.75 Foveon MPs)

Only a moron (if the shoe fits, Preddy...) would try to pass this off as a
typical 3MP bayer image. My 3 year-old Oly C-3040 takes incredible
pictures. This one looks like it was taken at about ASA/ISO 1600 with very,
very little light and a super-long exposure.

Foveon is interesting technology but it's low light performance leaves much
to be desired, which is only one reason why www.dpreview.com could only give
either Sigma DSLR a "Recommended" rating instead of the coveted "Highly
Recommended" like the D70, Digital Rebel, and Pentax *ist D all received
(and even the Oly 8080, the successor to my C-3040).
