Sigma acquires Foveon
 

There's gotta be some relevance to the video market:

Foveon - Sigma Corp. Acquires Foveon

Nov. 11th, 2008: "Sigma Corporation (Location: Tokyo,
Japan) has acquired 100% of the stock of the company
that developed the original three-layer image sensor,
Foveon Inc. Foveon will continue its sensor development
operations in San Jose, CA, USA."

I WISH the Foveon chip would appear in a video camera- would be AWESOME!!!!!

Just make sure it doesn't have rolling shutter artifacts, and I'm in.
