山木的声明。

Dear SIGMA customers,

First of all, thank you very much for your continued support and interest in our products.

In February 2020, we announced our decision to restart our plans for a full frame Foveon X3 sensor camera, beginning with the development of a new sensor technology. We have not been able to share any information regarding this project in the time since, and I would like to use this short message to provide an update about the situation.

As previously announced, we halted development of the project after the sensor we were working with could not go into mass production due to a critical flaw. As a result, we also terminated our contract with the sensor manufacturer with whom we had been collaborating. Further, we determined that the original sensor specifications would make it difficult to develop a product that will meet our and our customers’ high standards, and accordingly we decided to go back to the drawing board.

At present, we are fully engaged in research and development of the project, led by our head office, and are reviewing specifications to ensure that we will be able to satisfy the expectations placed on this project. While we have not proceeded to the development of a camera body yet, we will continue to do our utmost to create a camera in which we have full confidence.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the strong and ongoing support you have shown us.

All of our employees, including me, continue to do their very best to develop new and outstanding photographic technologies. Thank you for your patience and for your understanding.

Kazuto Yamaki
Chief Executive Officer, SIGMA Corporation

存钱吧，其他相机都没啥吸引力，看能不能在2025年前出来。

那看来攒钱要攒的久一点了，反正短期内出不来

本来适马就没有说过放弃全幅X3，只是一群人以讹传讹而已。
山木CEO说的是“从头开始”重新设计X3全幅。

适马：我还没有放弃全画幅Foveon的开发，但正在对该技术进行重新划分和修改，因此请您以后再期待。一些客户愿意使用现有的quattro的传感器，但是quattro的旧传感器现在已经不足以使用，因此我们想着重于全画幅。
