Apparently Sigma has a 2 year lock on the Foveon technology. So,
considering the drastic depreciation of third party lenses and the
Sigma and the Foveon chip become much more expensive compared to
Canon or Nikon.
I don't understand -- what point are you making?

Sorry for being unclear. I was trying to make the point that if one
were to buy a new digital camera system in this price range and want
a Foveon chip you are stuck with Sigma for a couple of years. In
addition with the Sigma there is a hidden cost later if you change
camera systems when you do the inevitable upgrade because Sigma
lenses are worthless in the used market compared to a Canon or Nikon.
