The next Foveon camera?

Dear Sigma Foveon sensor fans and connoisseurs.

I often browse the forums here, and on the Canon R forum I come across this picture. So this is not my photo, the creators' names are at the bottom right. But you should definitely take a look at this photo in full size, at 100% view.

When you then see what the future Full Frame Foveon sensor has to contend with ...
The resolution, the dynamic range, the detail in the shadows, the colour reproduction ... Ok, this image has been edited a lot with DxO and Photoshop, and it's also just a jpeg.

But if I were CEO Yamaki, and I see this IQ, the courage to start with a FF Foveon camera would sink into my shoes. I would think that the race to absolute IQ is over, and that Sigma has lost it.

The prices for this Canon R5 + a couple of good L lenses are incredibly expensive though, and I will never and cannot afford them.

If the CEO of Sigma acts logically, rationally, planfully and with responsibility for his employees' income, then surely he should not launch the FFF camera?
What do you all think?

Jozef,

I think you are expressing your own personal view of things.

You are not CEO Yamaki and I have no doubt that he has a much more positive outlook on future developments of the FF X3 sensor and it remains to be seen if his positivity will bear fruit or not.  One way or the other I doubt that his courage will sink into his shoes.

I think it is very clear that he and his father before him have acted logically, rationally and planfully and with serious responsibility to his employees and will continue to do so into the future FF X3F sensor or not.

It is my opinion that the FF X3F will be launched only if Kazuto Yamaki is satisfied that it can stand up to serious and severe scrutiny.

Time will tell.
