Nothings stopping Sigma from doing a Foevon full frame if
its a better way of making a sensor.

Not exactly true. What?s really stopping them is that that level of sensor 
development is beyond the financial resources of a smaller company like 
Sigma.  I'm not sure we will ever see a FF Sigma/Foveon. Unless of course if 
someone buys Sigma for the sensor, which I don't see as likely.

Other problems in include the lack of "sophisticated " buyers that want FF 
cameras spending FF money on something that tis made by Sigma and will take 
only Sigma lenses. Also, the average FF buyer is not likely to like the lack 
of raw support.

Good luck.
