Re: How can Sigma make sure the FFF is the best success it can be?

I think Sigma's FF Foveon could well be aimed at people who are looking for a "edge" or a "difference" over standard-fare cameras, and those people are the types that, right now, buy a Hasselblad X1(2)D or (somewhat) the Fuji GFX series. I think the resolution and color from a FF Foveon sensor could compete with those medium format cameras (well, the color from the Hasselblad is really really good). Medium format quality in a smaller package would be appealing.

FF Foveon is never going to be mainstream. It will always be a niche for those who appreciate it and know how they want to use it.

If Sigma try to make an "everyone's" camera, it will fail, simply because it will disappoint everyone in some way.
