Beautiful colors! Authentic Foveon X3 rendering.

I hope Sigma will bring back this original look and feel in the next FF camera.

Thank you for your appreciation.

I agree regarding the unmistakable look of the classic Foveon.

I am not really holding my breath for the full-frame Foveon camera. I don't think I need more megapixels than the F13 sensor (or even the F7) has to offer. I love to be able to handle smaller files, which do not require much processing power, take less time to edit and do not require terabytes of storage space. And I certainly don't want to bother with bulkier, heavier and more expensive cameras and lenses.

What I would like is just an F13 sensor in an updated camera, like a compact mirrorless body, the size of the original DP series with an L-Mount and three or four small high quality prime lenses with reasonable aperture (like f/2.8 12mm, 24mm, 50mm and 80mm).

But I don't think it will ever happen, as this would be too much of a niche product, and especially considering the present circumstances of declining camera sales and global pandemic.

Cheers!
