They promised to give some sigma-points to early buyers, that can be used for buying more sigma gear.
Amount of compensation is not specified.

Thats a sony nex-7/ nex-5n/Fuji gx-1 without the possibility to change lenses and without an electronic viewfinder. Control layout is presumably also worse. I cant see whats exciting about that. The Foveon sensor is different not any better than a 20MP Bayer sensor. When it comes to low light perfromcance Foveon sensors are actually much worse. The only adavntage I can see is that the sigmas are probably a bit more compact than the sony when you take lens size into account. But then the new Canon powershot GX sounds more convincing also, since it has a zoom lens and is likly cheaper.
Admitedly the Foveon sensor is exciting technology in itself. From a practical point of view I can see however no convincing argument to invest in a camera using such sensor, given its infant state of development.
