Re: But...

The Q might be an improvement but it needs an order of magnitude improvement more to get to the stage where people would chose it for the camera itself rather than the sensor.

And I don't believe for one second that you believe that image quality is the only criteria. If it was, you'd not be using Sigma, you'd be using technical cameras the size of a truck with 5 metre wide sheets of film. No, like everyone else, you chose a camera as a compromise of many factors including at least a minimal level of convenience!

I stick with my point: despite the Q's improvements, no one would but one unless it had a Foveon sensor.  When Sigma can build a camera that performs well enough that it has appeal as a camera rather than a fine lens and a box housing a foveon sensor, then they will fly, not before.
