Correct, but you don't need RAW for that. Set in-camera sharpness to -1.0 and there are no haloes as well as less visible noise overall while retaining all the detail in the OOC JPEG.

I set Sharpness to -1.0 in both Merrill and Quattro, even if the Merrill may benefit from some sharpening. The reason is to avoid haloes since the in-camera sharpening algorithm is less ...

Well, my DP2 Quattro JPEG engine runs circles around the Fujifilm X100F at low ISO (at higher ISO the Fuji is good enough that I still consider one), so not sure that's a concern. Power supply: USB ...

Definitely, that's the beauty of this approach: Extreme portability of the code, so we should expect iOS and Android versions later. Maybe even desktop Linux.

Fujifilm just launched a new RAW converter that performs actual conversion with the camera processor instead of in PC/Mac software: https://www.dpreview.com/news/1600919737/fujifilm-japan-announces ...

In *both* DOF and total light gathering, F4 on this lens delivers the same as F12 on full frame, there's no "but".

Yeah, but they forgot to mention that F4 on this lens is an F12 equivalent...

Had both and prefer Quattro overall, but NOT for B&W. Merrill is cleaner and DP2Q underexposes monochrome by a stop, making in camera JPEGs a poor evaluation of actual result, it's weird.

Or as part of Sigma's strategy to get more people to consider their cameras, given that they launched several cameras after they started offering mount change of their lenses. More likely it's ...

Their long term goal is a full frame (36x24mm for the pedantic) Foveon sensor, which is the only direction that makes sense when most of Sigma's own lenses are for full frame and they don't make a ...

If you look closely you'll see that those cameras are generally launched at CP+ in February/March, so the answer to your question is likely yes.

S-HI doesn't say much, though, because they are softer from interpolation to start with..

Thanks for sharing, unfortunately confirms the OP's complaint: This looks like a photo from a smartphone, not a Sigma. I don't believe the OP ever complained about sharpness (and the only way to ...

People have been able to roll back earlier cameras by renaming the firmware to a higher number (1.03 in this case) and changing a few bits in the file itself. Doesn't solve the problem long-term, ...

Try to set sharpness to -1.0 for the color mode in question (Standard, ideally) and re-develop with the in-camera RAW converter. Otherwise I agree, they tend to be oversharpened.

Mike has posted some far from pretty examples already, so I suggest the opposite: Is anyone able to post an SD Quattro H OOC JPEG with FW1.02 in full resolutiom that looks detailed and good?

The original DP2 doesn't have a variable Analog Front End (with its associated issues that Sigma still can't get right in the Quattros), so I'd rate it higher than the X as long as you appreciate ...

Doesn't help when the in-camera RAW converter applies the same blurring as OOC JPEG.

I shoot in RAW mode. However: The DNGs look a lot like the JPEGs, which is logical since they are also processed quite a bit in-camera (translation from Quattro to per-pixel data is performed ...

You need to dial down sharpness to -1.0 for the color mode you use, then there should be no halos, unless the new firmware also messed with the sharpening algorithm.
