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!!!

I very much doubt about your claim.

He was talking about the unconquerable technical difficulties of the 3-layer Foveon sensor.

Technical differences and technical difficulties do not necessarily render niche tech market segments obsolete. And when it does it is due to other SIMILAR tech approaches taking over. Classical Bayer is DISSIMILAR to Foveon, thus it can never take over the Foveon market segment.

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.

Many months, I say. Perhaps even 2 months. /s
