MF cameras are one trick ponies if you consider versatility as essential.

But for me the pejorative of calling Sigma that is they are unique amongst camera makers in making cameras that look like and compete in the space of far superior models from other companies.

It is only the particular image quality that is the Sigma "trick", Replace the quattro sensor with a conventional Sony EXmor and you will have a better camera but one that would almost impossible to sell because it would still fall well short of the competition.

It is all about the sensor - but it shouldn't be the ball is still in Sigma's court to fix that. Put the Foveon in a body that would sell in its own right - then they would have more than a one trick pony.
