Reading a recent post that included a 60M pixel Bayer sensor shot, the the discussion turned into a debate as to whether the FFF would ever arrive.

Looking at the Bayer photo what do you believe the FFF sensor would have to do better than the current generation of Bayer sensors? What are the design criteria the FFF design team have?

...

To Be competitive:

1. It needs to be responsive with reasonable battery life

2. It needs to work with other editors out of the box

3. It needs to have a reasonable price.

The sheer image quality game now belongs to monsters like the GFX100s. And the biggest advantage of Foveon sensors is they behave different. When every camera is converging in general quality, being different is enough of a differentiator to carve out a space.

100% agree.

I already have a Bayer L-mount camera for high ISO situations, but for everything else I prefer Foveon rendering. Being able to share lenses between the two creates a market opportunity for simply being different.

If Pentax sees a market for a new film camera, there surely must be a place for Foveon.
