The Foveon is dead? Strike that! Apparently, we will get a full-frame Foveon X3 sensor after all, with a possible release at the end of 2022.
Color us confused by this news, as we previously reported that Sigma’s full-frame Foveon sensor was “heading back to the drawing board.” Usually, that’s code for the trash bin, but apparently, Sigma has its Foveon X3 sensor back in action—and it’s actually expected to be launched here by the end of the year.
In what is another win for the poor, ill-equipped video-producing public, a new full-frame high-end Sigma sensor is more good news for pushing an already crowded camera market even tighter. This could mean even more innovations, price drops, and overall better options and quality all around.
But what is this new Foveon sensor, and what might it actually be used for? Let’s explore this news a bit more in-depth (and for real this time).
