I am sure that your understanding of the issues is greater than mine.
However one of the tests done by dpreview.com is ISO sensitivity and
noise.  The side by side frames they show seem to indicate that the
Canon D60 and EOS 1Ds both have a similar noise floor at high ASA
while the Foveon chip in the Sigma has much less noise than either of
the Canons at similar low light settings.  Or are you talking about
something else.
