Re: Why more than 50 replies to this crap?!

I find it interesting that with the insiders we have in this forum, more isn't known about Sigma's strategy.

From the outside it has always seemed bizarre - for example they are happy to sell cameras with 15 sec write times and batteries that last 50 shots. Can you imagine Nikon or Canon releasing cameras with such weak specs?  I can't. If they didn't have a fast enough processor they would rather not release a camera than release something that almost everyone would laugh at.

Sigma don't seem to care about such things.  They can do what they want of course but it does seem like a strange strategy that doesn't make much sense. Why do they do these things, who does it benefit to make the Sigma a laughing stock?  Of course the real fans understand the good side of Sigma cameras, but it is a very hard sell outside that little group and Sigma appear to content to keep on repeating the same moves.

I wonder why? They must surely have some kind of plan... what we need is Rick or Laurence or Kendall, anyone who the ear of Sigma to spill the beans... how do we make sense of the seeming wacky products they make????
