One of those not right

Most of what OP says is pretty much correct.

  • The resolution isn't a big deal unless you print big or crop heavily.
  • Focusing is slow compared to other cameras.
  • LCD screen probably isn't as good as you can get elsewhere.

Perhaps not as good, but it's pretty good.

  • Write speed, while improved compared to the Merrills, is still slow.
  • Colors can take some work to get where you want them.

Now that I disagree with, I don't think it takes much work at all to get great colors from the Quattro.

  • High ISO isn't comparable to the Bayer APS-C sensors.

Basicly Sigma cameras are a niche product, and for most people here the pros outweigh the cons and the cons are viewied as quirks. Myself included.

The way I think of it is that the Quattro can be used as a great companion camera - either with a smart-phone or a DSLR as your primary, with the Quattro reserved for more important images (or used in place of a specific prime in the case of a DSLR).
