This and the next show the excellent colour available from the Foveon sensors - and just think Jim, when the SD9 first appeared in 2003, all the trolls claimed it would not last due its poor construction. The Canon 60 shots are also, as you mentioned, better than those from the 5D - but again, could have something to do with the processing, as member Roger Slade (former Antarctic photographer pro) has visited and his 5D shots look much better, so I will ask him what he uses for processing as that might help you improve results.
