Sigma Poland launched a new countdown and thw slogan says “Destroy the system with Sigma, release is coming”. This sounds like something very BIG and the word “system” could refer to a new system camera. Many times Sigma stated they will not launch their own camera system. But of course this could have been part of the marketing strategy to hide their real goal. I would certainly like a System based on their DP lenses and Foveon sensor. I am curious if they will launch their own mount or join the MFT or NEX mount…
