Re: Review: One month with the Sigma SD Quattro

Oh, no doubt.  Don't get me wrong, I've had my share of frustrations shooting like this with the sigmas.  I just dislike the idea that because it's hard to shoot kids in the dark, that it's impossible to shoot kids or sports period.

I'll shoot some 500 shots of a basketball game with the olympus, and end up with only about 20-30 keepers.  I just can't shoot at that level of frequency, with a high enough iso, at the focal length that makes the shots interesting-- for that use case, sigma clearly falls flat.
