My guess is that the Foveon technology cannot deliver data fast enough, possibly due to heat issues.
I am amused at how quickly the world has changed from "who wants video in a still camera" to "who would buy a still camera without video". This camera is for those who want a lot of detail - this is in my opinion roughly equivalent to a 30MP Bayer camera. Who else gives you that in an APS-C size body? If it delivers speed and good handling, it would be a wonderful thing for wildlife photographers looking for light gear.

I'm wondering how the Foveon chip (the "bottom" photodiodes of the three layers) behaves with ultra-wides.
