Been spending a lot of time on here!
While this thing might not be the best-looking, it probably has good image quality--but the Sigma SA lens mount is the kiss of death. If it had a lens mount with a REAL following, like Canon EF or Nikon F, it would at least stand a chance of selling some units.
Here's how the Foveon disappointment went for me:
So Sigma has this cool new sensor tricolor sensor!
10 megapixels???!!! That's AMAZING!
Wait. That's 10 mega pixels total? So, uhm then like 3.4mp? That seems kinda .. huh.
Well, it will improve once Nikon or Canon adopt the technology
Wait, the technology is proprietary, well, we'll see
(years later)
Hey cool, there is a new Foveon camera from Sigma!
14 megapixels? Hey cool. So that's like 5 mega ... oh f*ck it.
