If you are saying Sigma markets crap, I agree.

ok

If you are saying that Foveon is not ready for prime time, you are
probably right.

not only am i right, but foveon is never going to be ready for prime
time because it's not physically possible.

not even sigma can break the laws of physics.

What I am saying is that Foveon has potential worth exploring, if only
for scientific purposes.

exploring the technology is one thing. there's nothing wrong with that.

many companies are looking into multilayer sensors, including nikon,
canon and fuji and i think sony too.

the difference is that those companies are working on perfecting the
technology so that it actually *is* better than what exists now and
*then* turning it into a product.

what sigma is doing is taking half-baked technology that is clearly
worse than what exists now, lying about what it can and cannot do,
faking some of it in software and claiming it does stuff that is not
physically possible.
