In the past Hasselblad had tried doing some developmental work with Foveon, but they couldn’t get the results needed, nor could they come up with a chip any larger than what’s found in the Sigma D-SLR’s.

It’s a great idea, but seems to be fraught with issues in the implementation stage.

Interestingly, Hasselblad has come up with a very partial solution to the whole business of interpolating colors between pixels in the form of their MS-backs which shunt the sensor around by single-pixel increments. Sadly, this only works on still life subjects…very still life subjects.
