Interview made by Dpreview.com.
From an interview made yesterday with Sigma COO Kazuto Yamaki, Yamaki said "Sigma plans to make a mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera with one of its Foveon sensors, the company's Chief Operating Officer has told dpreview.com"
Now, that's cool and something that many of us has been wishing for since the release of the DP1 - and perhaps even more so when competition became harder. Jealousy. ;) Now, he then continue the interview by talking about the new FLD glass that they have developed in cooperation with Hoya. This is all good folks, Sigma is really trying hard to satisfy it's current SA user base. :) Now, I need one of those Tilt and Shifts too! And a really fast wide angle alternative, preferably a high end prime. A 12mm 1.4? Yes.
In the end another classic statement was made and this is perhaps why I'm staying with Sigma, I Quote 'They are working very hard to try to make the best ever Foveon sensor for high end cameras.'
MmMmmm, that's such sweet words to my ears. Hopefully some fruit is out in a not too distant future! Future IS bright :D And, Thanks Ted Johnson for the heads up! And for your Leica X1 vs DP2 comparison. If you wish to share it, please do so as a comment. :)
