I understand what you say but Quattro is not for "beginners"... I agree that w have to explain to him but if he has bought a quattro, I assume he may have read about it on the net... so he knows the limitations of the foveon technology.
It doesn`t say any of this anywhere in Sigma's Blurb though does it , I`ve not read on Sigmas advertising that you need a strong past in handing foveon images and working with SPP to make the most from it and that it`s not even in the ball park above Base ISO .. all of that maybe true (it certainly is for every other Sigma camera) but Sigma don`t tell you this .......... the Advertising should read - Quattro - the next stage for Owners of previous Foveon cameras (others expecting an alternative to a GR, Coolpix-A, Leica-X or X100 , approach with caution this is something completely different.
not everyone who`s looking for a high end prime lens compact looks on this forum about what foveon is . the Guys review was bang on for one done by someone in the market for a Coolpix-A type camera as was the Youtube review . Like the OP, it`s doubtful the vast general public of non-foveonites would use SPP given an alternative either .
WE (as in Regulars to Sigma Talk) know different because We've had foveon cams for a decade and are just looking for a better DPx, DPxX, DPxM etc , most are not and want a better Coolpix A or X100S
I am not 100% agree with you again
I own a GR and a DP3M/2M because I want the best tool for my work. IQ for the DP but functionnality of the GR (great IQ but not as good as DP, we are agree). I wouldn't recommand a GR or a COolpix A to a beginner because you have to know what you are doing when using such cameras. Honnestly, it targets some of the people interested in buying a DP. Not the one who want to use it in studio or fashion, but all the other.
