By PR admin | Published: March 2, 2026

At the 2026 CP+ show in Japan, Sigma’s CEO, Kazuto Yamaki, confirmed that development of the Foveon full-frame sensor is still ongoing but did not provide a release timeframe. He reported steady advancement, “issues have been narrowed”, and the team might reach the next stage – actual full-size sensor manufacturing within 2026. However, he tempered expectations: “I can’t make bold, good reports about productization soon”. Wafer production is infrequent due to reliance on partner lines, requiring repeated cycles of analysis, fixes, and remakes. He reiterated his desire to eventually release a full-frame Foveon camera. The project remains in R&D, with market acceptance still to be evaluated.
