SPP 2.1

[John W.]

Thanks Chunsum,

A question, anyone know why the huge difference in file size between Mac (17MB) and Windows (60MB). Just curious !!

No equipment worth talking about....!!!

 

[Dominic Groß]

in most cases the new AutoWB seems slightly better, the MONOCHROM setting is really cool. Maybe just what was needed for IR shoots.

On the other hand 60mb ... this is really huge, they should think about seperate smaller packages without manuals and stuff...

Another pair of old vs. new - I couln't get the yellow tone out of the wall without turning the fluorescent lights really blue:

Also, highlights (flats' windows, fluorescent tubes) had halos around which are tuned wey down. But, what's more important, is the blotchy noise in shadows - check the rail tracks in the lower left part before and after - gone!

Not sure about it yet but I have the imression that the colordifferences between 2.0 and 2.1 are more obvious with SD9 files.

I say it does a very nice job with skin tone.

SD10

Either everyone is trying to get it at once or its just on a slow server. I'll wait a day or two for it to show up on the US site. It started out at 46kbs and within a minute dropped to 3.8kbs.

Whoever Sigma got to write the software for SPP is/are (a) genius(es)! SPP is definitely one of the best features of the camera.

Thank you, once again, Sigma for making shooting pictures even more enjoyable.

Bob,
Your question has been ignored in general excitement.

No, you do not need the drivers at all unless you want to transfer images via the wire. I do not know about the drivers update/compatibility - I am just swapping CF cards between camera and laptop.

Cheers,
W.

Thanks for the heads-up about 2.1.

The installation instructions show how to install camera drivers.
Are these updated, too? Are they necessary to appreciate the
updated software?

And I agree about the slow connection. Must be everyone hitting
them at once.

Bob

no pbase page but a few pictures I've taken can be seen here:

http://www.dzcues.com/pic_of_the_day.htm

Note: lightning pictures taken with Olympus E-20. All others with
SD10.

 

[Wojciech Burkot]

Wihle thay are at it they can also release "Camera Left Home" software emulator - for me even beta would do.
Cheers,
W.

Chunsum,

Yes, I discovered your thread, downloaded (32 minutes) SPP 2.1 (without camera) and spent a good hour or more on just a few of my "dogs" that I was ready to dump into the trash can. Glad I didn't. Now for the rest - fortunately only about 500 images left.

Chunsum, that was a very timely "heads up". Congrats!!!

Chunsum,

SPP 2.1 kind of takes some of the "bang" out of the competitions' 8 megapixel Bayer sensor cameras...

Yes, ... mad as He!!.

After spending months tweaking images in PS, downloading every PS action that came along to render better skintones, reaing post after post about skintone problems, .... Sigma sees fit to release SPP 2.1 and by so doing, make this all a moot point!

Sigma has the last laugh.

Well done Sigma!

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
