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?

What do I think?

I think you're just being negative Jozef.
