What an utterly ridiculous price for what is essentially a middle-of the road five-megapixel consumer SLR with mediocre lenses to boot. Here's the problem, at the same resolution as another camera, this sensor will, on paper have a more color accurate and sharper image because each pixel area records each color.

But take something like a 16MP Canon with your typical digital Bayer pattern and suddenly you're throwing a lot more pixels into the mix. At what megapixel resoution does the color accuracy of the Bayer sensor overake the Foveon sensor simply because you're throwing more, smaller sample points at it.

I can think of so many things that a photographer could do with $2000, wasting it on a technology that never lived up to its promise just isn't one of them.
