Have to agree . . .
Anyway probably better to put this thread to bed, but to summarize my feelings, I use sigma for the sensor, not the camera. I'm just tired of losing some (not all) shots in low light and social situations.
Why do I lose shots in social situations? I'm not asking for 5 or more frames a second, or some craziness, I'm asking for 1 frame a second for a five seconds, and then again in three seconds, repeatedly. That doesn't seem like too much.
As for the low light, if I can brace the camera, and the subject isn't moving, no problem. I get a lovely shot. But hand held, slightly moving, illumination of a daylight church interior or streetlit scene - the shot will not hold up.
It's not wrong to point that out to Sigma (thought they are well aware of it), while acknowledging the comments by informed Sigma forum members regarding the difficulty of processing foveon output.
Most (thought not all) of the very gifted members of this forum do not dwell on this sort of subject matter, so they have less to be dissatisfied about.
On the positive side, I particularly like foveon output for the way the images/colors stand up to post processing.
In short I am looking for a more responsive camera with foveon quality output at a decent price. I would love it in the DP series size, even with fixed lens. The 4.6 mp resolution is just ok, but I would like higher. I haven't found one so far, but I'm looking. Fine with me it it's a Sigma.
or SPP -there has to be something wrong when Rytterfalk complains about it!
