If I've been duped then so have a lot of others more knowledgable and
experienced then I:

"... in our previous experience the X3 sensor delivers approximately twice
the resolution of a standard mosaic sensor with the same number of
horizontal and vertical pixel locations."

"Resolution of enlarged images virtually indistinguishable from six
megapixel Bayer D-SLR "
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sigmasd10/page19.asp

"The smallest details, far in the background, where we expected a smudge,
had sharp edges. We could read the names on the bows of the boats on the
opposite shore. The resolution we found in that picture was equal to, maybe
better than, what we were accustomed to in 6-megapixel cameras. "

"While we know of no sure way to say how many regular pixels that
3.4-million Foveon pixels equal (whose "regular pixels," for starters?), we
can reaffirm that the sharpness of detail we get from this system equals or
betters our expectations for systems with double the number of pixels. We
made inkjet prints on commercial, large-format Epson printers at 18x24-inch
sizes, and they had stunning detail."

"...the SD10 often shines, making sharper pictures than any we've seen from
conventional sensors with twice the pixel resolution."
