Is there anything new in this conglomeration that has not already been discussed ad nauseam here?

I don't remember any official announcement or interview in which an APS-C product was mentioned.  So, for me, this is new.

I think it is a good idea, since Leica has discontinued the CL, so far the only APS-C L-mount camera with a built-in EVF.

A small and light Sigma APS-C with their new 18-50 zoom would be a popular choice.

At this point I'm delighted with my fp L, and to me this does not mean that Sigma has abandoned the camera manufacturing scene.  I got the impression from reading the linked article in the OP that this extension of Sigma into the conventional sensor camera market was a sign of abandonment.  I hold it in my hand almost every day and they are still for sale...  Nope!

I do wish they would drop the price of their add-on EVF for the fp series, though.  Affordable at half the current $699 price, I think.  At $349, I'd buy it in a minute!
