Someone took the time to write a lengthy review and while full of hyperbole, it is honest and points out the strengths and weaknesses. Anyone taking the time to read the review should appreciate that as well.

It is an opinion and if you disagree that is your opinion, as well. As far as fact checkers, please correct anything you see that is misleading or blatantly incorrect. But there is no need for the angst in these forums.

+1. I also have all 3 DPM's so I can identify with this review though I use my M43 system more because it's faster and easier and gives me a wider FL range. But the Foveon files are truly superb. It's a special instrument. Not for everything or everyone. Review should be read in that context. Of course if you are mostly into action & low light it would be useless. I don't pay much attention to stars and awards. The op seems to have a continuing love affair with Sigma. Thus 5 stars, why not. Happy for him. Also nice to hear most of the good things in Foveon carried over to Quattro.

Thanks, incidentally I have other cameras for specific jobs that the SD-Q isn't good at, I just don't see any point in marking it down for things it isn't designed to be good at. It's the same reason I don't use a two seater sports car for doing the grocery shopping and then marking it down because the boot is not big enough. I don't see anyone criticising Leica's for their inability to shoot telephoto wildlife either. If you shoot high rez landscape and mono IR and don't want to carry a big lump or spend a fortune then these cameras can't be beaten. You also don't have to spend a fortune on lenses to benefit from what the sensor is capable of either.
