Pros:Foveon sensor, great resolution and chromatic rendering in the appropriate shooting conditions, is a machine that forces you to think before shooting and allows you to devote the right time to search for the composition, without being taken by the heat of having to shoot.
Cons:Foveon sensor, abnormal behavior when sunlight or at least a strong source of lighting enters directly into the frame (color spots and dominant green or magenta that appear randomly in the whole image): just slightly angle the lens and everything disappears... Even with everything possible activated, in the crosshairs there is no real response with the final image, so you have to think about a period of learning and closeness with the use of the lens/machine pairing in order to achieve results that, at that point, become excellent. SA optical attack, virtually non-existent adaptors rings to use lenses equipped with other bindings, with the sole exclusion of the M42 and Hasselblad medium-format attack.
Opinion:I have inserted the Foveon sensor both among the pros and cons of this mirrorless, because the particular construction architecture of the sensor is the best value and the worst defect of this machine, which I love unconditionally. It is a machine dedicated to those who are not in a hurry to shoot and run away, so forget about the action or sports photography. When used according to its own characteristics (in my opinion fantastic, once you understand), the sensor offers the best of the market in the yield of detail and colors. Since, for constructive reasons, a charge amplifier on the individual photoreceptor, it is not possible to adjust the gain (forget to use the medium and high ISO), since raising the ISO would only serve to underexpose during the shooting phase and then have to regain in pp the underexposure, resulting in exponential increase in noise. Remember when you "pull" the films with analog machines? Well, the mechanism is the same, with the proper technological differences. If you are working on ISO 100 the sensor offers a truly exceptional performance and I say this as it is used to using reflex and ml equipped with Bayer matrix sensors with very high number of pixels. The yield of the files, especially in the monochrome, is very high, at the level of the best realizations on the market. I bought the machine equipped with battery grip and, since it is equipped with APS-H sensor, I matched the brand new lens "Sigma 40mm f:1.4 Art DG HSM - SA mount", which in my opinion is among the best lenses made by Sigma in the Art series. I collected the shots made with sigma Sd Quattro H on this Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/henry62/albums/72157690414585203
Pros:Machine body quality, unrivaled jpeg (if not in the MF), ease of use, the right conditions made by the pro without compromise in quality, b / n comparable only to the leica monochrome.
Cons:Battery life, "iso" iso hold (color no more than 400 iso, in b / n even 1600 where it generates a pleasant grain), difficulty in finding optics and accessories.
Opinion:I recently bought this car body, aware (thanks to the few discussion forums) of the field of use. I decided to make it the only body, selling the previous kit (d300 + various optics). 100 bucks the breath. Every generated photo ranges from 65 mb to 500 that came out with the SFD option. Great yield up to 400, beyond becomes good for the web, but loses a lot in print. Slow processing program (for file size) needs a good pc behind it. Precise but slow autofocus (already budgeted, so I do not bother you). The only chance that made me lose my nose was during the first session; The battery life is embarrassing (I had to buy two spare parts in anticipation of a trip). For the rest, as previously estimated by the previous review, is not a system comparable to the Bayer technology flow. You acquire aware of what you can offer. And in its comfort zone, the yield is better than any current ff systemYou trade.
Pros:Superb file quality, great dynamic range, detail and amazing color. Rugged body and excellent finishes, simple menu and well-arranged controls. Very accurate electronic viewfinder.
Cons:Absolutely none for the kind of device. Not easy to find on the market.
Opinion:For those who already know and appreciate the Foveon sensor, this machine is its consecration. Turning it in his hands reveals an absolute sense of solidity and robustness. The detail you can record is something you've never seen before, and the file malleability is far bigger than that generated by the compact "DP" series and the old flagship Sigma Sd1 Merrill. For those who are accustomed to shooting in analogue to find work with this sensor will be a joy. The operating speed is lower than the various reflexes on the market but we are talking about a tough product comparison. I only had it for a few weeks and as soon as possible I will regain it, probably greeting the reflex system definitively. If you have the chance to test it, bring the file home, open it and you will not be back. RnProduced with MTrading warranty of 3 years if purchased in a physical store, you spend more but you sleep quietly.
