Nokishita has uncovered a Korean registration for a SIGMA fp L camera body. Not much is known specifications wise about the new camera, but it looks like this will be the mate to a recently registered EVF-11 from SIGMA.
The current SIGMA fp is claimed to be the smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera on the market, but at 25mp, it could use a higher resolution sibling.

I like to see Sigma evolve the modularity of the FP—like make available an optional EVF, move away from the DNG file format, add 120 FPS 10-bit colour.
But I also think Sigma should make options for photo-centric & hybrid shooter cameras. I don't know why you think Foveon cameras would be out of reach for the majority since you can get the Sigma sd Quattro camera with and APS-C Foveon sensor for $699, and the APS-H version for $1099. How much more would a FF version cost? I agree it could be a niche product, but I doubt it would be too expensive.
They only thing that would put a dampener on the new fp would be the upcoming Sony FX3. Which essentially looks like it uses the heat sink technology from the fp to achieve unlimited 8K and oversampled 4K.
On the other hand, Nikon still trounced Panasonic.
