That is not uncommon. That si when the ideas come. Sadly, most of the are really bad, worse than normal.

With scaling variations like this, and the X3F format changing with each new model, it *is small wonder that so few converter providers have anything to do Sigma's products.*

I actually bought these two cameras thinking they would be no different to the SD14 (same sensor, right?). Ha, how naïve can one get?!!

A storm in a tea-cup, you might say - but every time I open an X3F in RawDigger, I now have to set the over/under exposure levels to suit the stupid camera used. Ridiculous!

There is one reasonable conclusion - the Sigma cameras are experimental.

But - they are not alone - look at Fujifilm. Hmmmm ... but the later higher end Fuji have settled for the same sensor for many moons now.
