Nikon D-80 aboveDP1 below
There's been quite a bit written about the Foveon chip (DP1) and red. I have my own opinion about this camera with a red environment and will be writing something in the next several days. Thinking about color though made me curious about this camera with purple. Purple is a color with unusual properties, it tends to have an emotional impact as well with many people. It is also a color which is impossible for a digital camera to reproduce. No matter how purple the print appears, a comparison to the actual subject proves it to be shades of blue but never purple.

We have a small bathroom painted purple and I have used it to test several digital cameras and to prove to others that No, their camera doesn't do purple either.
I brought the DP1 to the "Purple room" and Wang dang Doodle...Purple! Whad'ya know.
