If the image is "blown" while using a Quattro sensor, that's it. There's no forgiveness. It is more likely to be able to recover something from a Merrill sensor. Similar comments have been made in ...

Swapping out the dust protector is kind of a pain, I can't imagine wanting to swap out the same thing, but with different types of glass in it. Kolari Vision has lots of filters. You may be able ...

Unlike Canon and Sony, Sigma does not make their own sensors. Except for Samsung, pretty much all of the other camera manufacturers buy a sensor from another company (yes, Canon buys sensors for ...

"Europa Report" movie.

A privately held corporation can still have stockholders, at least as I understand it in the USA.

I print stuff. I have printed stuff that has flaws on screen but still prints fine. I have also made quite large prints from cell phone images. Large as in 30" + on a side large. Granted, there can ...

It's certainly possible to make a pano without a tripod, I've done it. More than once. I would suspect that the OP's image would print fairly well. It's certainly easier to view a screen at 100% vs ...

The old Sigma 70mm f/2.8 ex dg macro is an excellent lens, optically. Auto focus is not reliable at all. Micro motor focusing, not USM. They were difficult to find on the used market, have not ...

There is also the problem of color shifts with adapted lenses on Sigma cameras, Foveon and Quattro sensors. The Quattro sensor is supposedly more forgiving in this regard. Yes, the fixed lens ...

The Sigma hotshoe allegedly matches Canon, a Canon compatible flash extension cord also works on a Sigma camera and flash. Not sure if it will fully work on another camera, except for manual mode.

I thought that Nikon lenses were better than this. Sure is a lot of distortion of the horizon.

😁

Check the Sigma USA site for firmware updates.

I just turn it off between uses. Can't think of anything else.

I have not yet modified a Bayer camera for full spectrum or IR stuff. As I understand it, it is different from Foveon. Could be wrong. Presumably, it should be "easier" to work with an available ...

These will still scale up very well for printing. The Sigma cameras are still equal to or better than comparable vintage Bayer sensors for actual output. Accurate auto focus is probably the only ...

Sandy, I am seeing anywhere from a few MB to 10MB difference between regular sdQ and SD1M X3F RAW file sizes, with the sdQ being higher. This makes sense to me, as the top layer sdQ has more pixels ...

Ted, I didn't want to buy one new, and yes, the size isn't really APS-H. Been watching them (used) for a while and finally saw one at a reasonable price that was complete and in excellent cosmetic ...

Ahhhh, the marketing department...

No worse than your vision being mostly guess work... :)

Ok, I dug into the settings and have the two cameras side by side. BOTH have a higher resolution that is only available as a FINE JPEG setting, NOT X3F. sdQ: (1) Maximum FINE JPEG (also called S-HI): ...
