Its about a 1.7x lie.In other words the linear resolution of of co-sited sensor is about 1.4x that of a bayer sensor.But yes, still using the same 4.7 MPx foveon (6.6 Mpx Bayer equivalent) sensor means that Foveon sensor development has halted. SD15 is an incremental improvement, but much more would be needed at this stage to rescue the format. 14 isn’t a 3x lie. Its about a 1.7x lie.

But yes, still using the same 4.7 MPx foveon (6.6 Mpx Bayer equivalent) sensor means that Foveon sensor development has halted. SD15 is an incremental improvement, but much more would be needed at this stage to rescue the format.

Fovean sensors for one, and the DP1/2 line. Wats a shame is their poor implementation. No change in sensor, like when fuji went from S3 to the S5 does not bode well in this fast paced digital market.

I wonder why are they going to make SD15 - is there any REASONABLE excuse? Do they earn anything on these cameras? Tons of R&D yet barely anything sold... duh...

That is absolutely the final nail in Sigma's camera making coffin. If they still haven't been able to up this miserable pixel count (14 is a 3X lie) that means only one thing; they can't figure out how to do it! Stick a fork in them, they're done. No doubt about it.

Nope.
