And regardless of your personal nomenclature, there are commercial realities that Sigma has to consider.

I have spent 1000 EUR to Sigma Foveon gear and may buy some Foveon gear in the future.

What definitive personal nomenclature and commercial realities do you bring to the table?

Given the inherent noise and efficiency problems of the Foveon, I am more likely to sell, than buy, at this point. I would rather see Sigma invest in something like a fixed lens medium format monochrome camera than continue with the Foveon. Something akin to a Texas Leica Q2 Monochrom. Still niche, but offering some advantages over competitive products.

If you feel that does not describe Foveon "fans" then we just have a difference of opinion.
