Well, I don't agree. Previous Foveon sensors had an (optimistic) advantage of about 30% to 40 % when deFoveonised, i.e., Foveon MP divided by 3. That would put it roughly in the 20MP ball park compared to Bayer sensors (46MP / 3 * 1.3), or up there approximately with the 18 MP Canon sensor.
We'll have to wait for the first test results, however, to see how it really performs.
Kind regards, Wim

Also remember that that advantage was a bit of a fake advantage, only there because of the lack of AA-filter (which is not connected to the type of sensor).
Still, it looks to be a nice camera from Sigma, finally.
