Which brings us to the cruz of the differences in opinion: you believe that the Foveon market niche is too small to be sustainable in the long run, while most of the Sigma forum participants

Indeed. A small group with no information about the financial realities of the proposition.

What makes you think a larger group with no intersection with that smaller group would have more information?

(and the CEO of Sigma) think otherwise.

The CEO of Sigma is developing the camera to honor the legacy of his father, it seems. Given that they have no idea of the ultimate costs of development or production, imputing sustainability is a stretch.

Future is unknown.
