Sigma CEO Yamaki: Full-frame Foveon sensor “still at design stage”

Dpreview had a chat with Sigma CEO Yamaki. They main topic was the Full Frame Foveons sensor development. Yamaki stated that:

Unfortunately, we have not made any significant progress since last year.

So it will still take a couple of years before (if ever) we will see a real camera using this kind of sensor. For Yamaki the upsides of this sensor (like color accuracy) are worth the effort and struggle to develop this technology.

Camera to Cloud with Frame.io

Panasonic writes:

With the latest firmware update, the S5II/S5IIX cameras are now natively integrated with Frame.io Camera to Cloud, the leading cloud-based collaboration platform that allows users to share and collaborate while editing still images and videos. By connecting the camera to the internet via Wi-Fi or USB tethering, you can automatically upload images (JPEG/RAW) and Proxy videos directly from the camera to the Frame.io platform. Sharing media via the cloud enables seamless real-time feedback remotely. This integration allows editors and collaborators to access footage or images, connecting the production process to post-production enabling a much more efficient content creation process.
