SHOCKING: Will foveon sensors ever return and does anyone outside sigma still care | Mind Blowing Facts

Sigma dp3 Quattro.

In a recent PetaPixel interview with Sigma's CEO, President Kazuto Yamaki, it was revealed that Sigma remains committed to the development of the Foveon sensor. This is both predictable news given Sigma's unwavering loyalty to the technology, but it's also surprising. Sigma's last camera with a Foveon sensor was the sd Quattro, equipped with a 29MP APS-C Foveon X3 sensor. This was launched in 2016, and though it was in production for the remainder of the decade alongside older Sigma cameras also using the Foveon X3, we've seen no new Foveon-equipped camera launched since.
