You are definitely a romantic, dear Tarmo. I like that.
You doubt my 'rational' thinking, but when Professor Fossum speaks, ...

I very much doubt he was speaking about a niche market segment.

He was likely speaking about a potential wider market success.

No, certainly not!!!
He was talking about the unconquerable technical difficulties of the 3-layer Foveon sensor. Dr. Fossum has continued to do so in several other threads in the science forum. Reading his expert opinion then, it made me become despondent, and I see the future of the Foveon sensor in black.

And one does not know if CEO Yamaki's engineers are still tinkering with the Foveon or not, he says they are, but this has also been some time ago.

... I will never dare to claim he is wrong, his knowledge of this science is indisputable.

Most scientists are wrong about something.

And most get misinterpreted more or less often.

Hope springs eternal in this Sigma forum!
