And as to increased competition among remaining camera makers, should I interpret that in a way that such depressing threads like this one are deliberate attempts by competition to shut down Sigma's Foveon business?

I would let the buyers themselves decide on which camera models they prefer.

And let Sigma decide which camera models they develop and market.

The relative advantages of the Foveon have declined as Bayer sensors have continued to improve.

Yes, I could agree with that assessment. But the advantage is still there and significant to some buyers.

Here, as above, you seem to be basing your assertions on an assumption of a static competitive market.

Why can't we let the actual market decide that by itself, instead of trying to influence others?

In 2023 and beyond, the market for a slow camera with moderate resolution that works only at ISO 100 or 200 seems rather small.

I disagree with that.

You suffer from some kind of haunting delusion, or perhaps you are seeing ghosts??? Surely I have nothing to do with any company, of any kind?

I am a happy user of my DP3M since 2013, and I will definitely buy the FF Foveon camera, if it is affordable to me ...

I call this topic a rational one, and if this depresses you, don't read this or write to the CEO Yamaki, he has a twitter account, that he hurries up a bit with that camera ...
