recent quirky camera pickup, the Sigma DP3 Quattro. It's incredible. Just beware of all the usual Foveon sensor quirks.

I’ve had an sd Quattro for 4 years. I’ll keep it until it craps out, and then try to find another one. I love the clunky old thing, purely because it makes me work for the shot, and when it works too, the results are just magic.

These are pretty awesome. I have one of the original DP2's, and also had a DP2 Quattro come across my work desk about a week ago. I think the best way to think about them is as if they're medium format. Similarly slow, but also produces quite the unique image, just as a medium format camera would!

@tkk0o 10 ай бұрын

Happily shooting ISO640 and 800 on these. Chromatic noise can be alleviated via detailed post options in Sigma's software. 'ISO100 only' is a common misconception with this line of Foveon sensors.

@aaronmoore3050 17 күн бұрын

Almost nobody agrees with high iso use on these "cameras". I prefer "imaging tool" to "camera" for these. Maybe "landacape camera".

@chuckmoser9662 10 ай бұрын

I have an SD Quattro. It has the same limitations as the DP3 Quattro but I can swap out lenses. Using fast high quality lenses is an absolute must. It's a challenge to shoot with but when it hits, it hits.

@thedarkslide 10 ай бұрын

Fast lenses = shallow depth of field = waste of a Foveon sensor that allows to show insane amounts of detail IF you have details in depth of field. I recommend shooting all Foveon cameras on a tripod, set them to ISO 100, cable release with long exposure times and closing down to maximize for depth of field.

I have the dp0 Quattro and learned to treat it as a specialty camera. I mostly use it for landscapes and it just absolutely shines. It’s my digital XPan / digital 6:7 medium format camera for a fraction of the cost. A killer camera but not an “everyday carry” camera. I wouldn’t mind if they release a new APSC version. I don’t need it to be full frame. I just want a Foveon body that can take L mount lenses.

I got an SD Quattro H last summer, it's such an incredible camera. Very specialized, not versatile for one bit. But when it hits, oh boy does it hit.# (If you're curious, it's basically an APS-H version of the same sensor inside your DP3, but with an SA mount in front of it (yes, the removable hot filter is still there. This is the best camera for IR photography as you can put the filter back in in seconds and it's a mirrorless camera so you see through the EVF what you're shooting with a full spectrum + IR filter setup !)

I have a friend who is obsessed with the sigma dp line of cameras. They all had the same issues mentioned in the shorts. Frankly, I think the image quality alone is not enough to make up for all the other issues. Also the battery performance of these cameras ate horrible. I guess this is fine if you really love that specific sensor. But dont expect anything more than shooting landscapes or anything that is still. I heard some use this to do product shoot as well.

@RobertLeeAtYT 10 ай бұрын

The reason why the ISO is so low is due to the unique sensor structure. It has no Bayer filter. Instead the R, G and B sites are stacked vertically, very much like film. The problem though is that the bottom layer now actually receives very little light.

@aaronmoore3050 17 күн бұрын

The cause of noise is NOT a lack of light, but electronic noise. Imagine a perfect sensor. Dark areas will be perfectly dark, because of course they are. Why noisr then? ERRORS in the analog first stages. (yes there are some smaller sources of noise) If you added a lot of shielding (lead plates), and used gold wires to move processing outside of the sensor area, ie if you made it look like a mad scientist project like a quantum computer, you could get extremely clean darks ie good high iso performance.

Is it something that’s intended to be more for studio photography/highly controlled environments? I know a lot of the large format cameras that do 100+ megapixel photos are often used for studio stuff because of their slow processing speeds and other limitations. This sounds similar even though it’s a lot more compact and looks like something mean to be a lot more “run and gun” than trapped in a studio. Hopefully that make improvements for future models, that’s a really cool camera

Not a big fan of fixed prime lenses cameras. The DP series is nice, and the sensor are awesome, but I would rather put my money in the SD Quattro cameras. Had a SDQ-H for a little while, and it's a litteral beast. too bad they are quite pricey and rare now

@jordylaforge3522 10 ай бұрын

The SDQ is a beast until you want to shoot red/orange/yellow, or unless you want a pocket cam for the day. This is why I've kept the DP3Q and DP3M. The SDQ is definitely the best designed camera I've ever used though, what a tank!

@matthieuzglurg6015 10 ай бұрын

@@jordylaforge3522 Honestly, the SDQ, or any Foveon cameras in general, CAN'T be used as primary cameras for (almost) anybody. They are cumbersome, generally require a tripod to shoot, have limited dynamic range even compared to 15 year old APS-C DSLRs. BUT. As a side camera to use when you want to slow down, have absolutely gorgeous colors and pretty much unmatched image quality until you reach medium format (albeit with a sharp lens) : those cameras are unbeatable. The best second camera you can wish for imho. Your second system should give you something different otherwise it's just more of the same. (also, the SDQ can remove the hot filter just like the SD1/SD14/SD15 except it's a mirroless, not a DSLR ! do for IR photography it's the best camera out there as you don't have to permanently alter the sensor to do a full spectrum conversion !)
