Unless I missed something, it doesn't shoot video. It seems a bit odd, considering it's more or less standard these days. I wonder what the target audience is?
I'm curious to know what the sensor can deliver, but I'd want some features that the Sigma doesn't offer. Maybe they really should license the sensors, because I get the impression it is hampered by their package.

My guess is that the Foveon technology cannot deliver data fast enough, possibly due to heat issues.
I am amused at how quickly the world has changed from "who wants video in a still camera" to "who would buy a still camera without video". This camera is for those who want a lot of detail - this is in my opinion roughly equivalent to a 30MP Bayer camera. Who else gives you that in an APS-C size body? If it delivers speed and good handling, it would be a wonderful thing for wildlife photographers looking for light gear.
