If in fact Foveon did give Sigma a 5 year exclusive digital camera rights to the chip, they probably shot themselves in the foot. The market for prosumer digital SLR's is for a long time going to be dominated by Nikon and Canon shooters looking to add a digital body to their kit. Also, in reading some early reviews in DP review, lens quality will be much more important as the pixels, or quality of the pixels, goes up. I don't know that Sigma has that many outstanding pro oriented lenses available, or that consumers will want to spend that kind of money on pro level Sigma lenses. Sigma will definitely sell some digicams, but I doubt that they will out do the big three.
