Re: Which drummer should they march to?

The point, I think, is not so much the results alone (which I consider fine from any modern camera) but the process of taking the picture. For me there is more to photography that the finished print - even if that is the goal - but the journey is also important. The end to end experience offered by this hobby.  There is pleasure in seeking out subjects, handling a fine camera that fits like a glove and you can use intuitively and crucially does not irritate or frustrate. Enjoyment of the fieldwork is an important part of the whole exercise for me.  Also once back home there is the digital darkroom experience. In both, Sigma cameras continue to disappoint. Hardware and software, the user experience. Whilst they may have improved marginally in a decade, others have improved much more. That is a major handicap for Sigma even if the sensor was universally praised...
