In either case, you have incorrect data.

No. In the D60, if a line is sharp, it's sharp because the lens/sensor
combination resolved it. In the Foveon, if a line is sharp, you don't know
whether it was because there was a sharp line out there or it was because
the sensor decided to report a sharp line arbitrarily and randomly.

Been there, done that. My 8000 scanner blows away anything I get out
of my digital SLRs. That includes a D60, and an S2.

Mine does too. But if I print cropped scans at 240 dpi, they're a lot softer
than if I print D60 images at 240 dpi.
