As far as the SD-15 goes, that camera is often touted to produce the best color rendition of any Sigma camera. Could it be that you've found an instance where that is not the case after-all?

Here's another instance, Scott:

Check out the blues, Osman ...

I was hosted on an IGTV session a fortnight ago, sponsored by FotoPro, Sigma's representative in Turkey and learned that some of the previous guests had made fun of Sigma's cameras, complimenting its lenses only. The final word was mine (the last program it was), and I showed the viewers an 18-35 Art, mounted on an SD10 and then asked, "why would anyone still use a 3x3MP camera?". I told them that each reincarnation of the Foveon sensor (sometimes even a change in the processor, as in the case of SD14/SD15) has its own, unique colour signature. So, depending on the assignment of the day, I make my choice between nine different cameras, all branded Sigma.

We got some positive feedback, though I doubt the camera sales figures will skyrocket after this. What I omitted to tell them were the pains (mild) one has to suffer when teasing those colours out
