Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Sigma DP2 Quattro: Unleashing Creativity with a Compact Digital Camera by Mark Sutovsky

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Foveon sensors are the best.

Very interesting camera. Doesn't record video, battery life is relatively short (that's why 2 is provided), autofocus is average, there's no image stabilization, the Sigma software takes a little time to process, and you probably need to shoot at ISO 100, and certainly not higher than 400 unless you are not shooting in monochrome. Those are the downsides. And the truth is, they don't really matter because as soon as you see the RAW images produced by the camera's Foveon sensor, especially on a high-resolution monitor, your jaw will drop. Given the right conditions - good lighting and a stable subject - this camera produces images that match or even exceed the images I've seen from any camera, regardless of size or cost. Some even argue that the Sigma dp2 Quattro can compete with the medium format in terms of quality. I think they are right. The level of detail and color accuracy on this camera is amazing and reminds me of beautiful old Kodachrome slide film. The Sigma dp2 Quattro is not for everyone due to its limitations. But when you use his strengths, he's second to none. In my opinion this is a good buy for the price. Highly recommended!
