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.

Well, I wasn't saying I'd want video, but if it is a purely photographic tool (which is fine), there should be some other features. I haven't used a Sigma, though I'm interested in the sensor technology, particularly in terms of dynamic range.
Are these cameras limited to Sigma lenses too? That might be a limiting factor for high definition images.
