Yes, agree,I have the X100S and shoot portraits in Astia, love it, but I do not get consistent outcome with landscapes or city-scapes - here the DPM.s are better.I have a Fuji X100 (12 MP Bayer) that even in APS-C format has the fat pixel character
D700 is cult.
Dont get the point. Either you have a long experience with sigma or you are surprised by SPP. I know Sigma Camera since SD9 and nothing they do will surprise me....I defend SIGMA products since ages now....
...... O' my God... SPP 6 is the most ridiculous piece of dung I ever used. ...
I was talking about the X100 without 'S'. Fewer pixels and fatter.Yes, agree,I have the X100S and shoot portraits in Astia, love it, but I do not get consistent outcome with landscapes or city-scapes - here the DPM.s are better.
Sold my D700, sorry to say.
IMO all of them face a basic problem, three layers and each of them eats light....canon have got new stuff ,sony will have new stuff ...
Because I can't make it work on my über computer, and trust me, I know computers (java programing of some MMORPG games).Dont get the point. Either you have a long experience with sigma or you are surprised by SPP. I know Sigma Camera since SD9 and nothing they do will surprise me.
Maybe a little surprise was their idea to bring out a wooden SD1 after the desaster with the SD1.
And in fact, the very first camera built by Foveon did exactly that... :lecture:IMO all of them face a basic problem, three layers and each of them eats light.
In video 3chip technology shows the other way, 3 chips side by side and color channels are seperated by a prism. This needs space.
after you advertising so much I subsribed to diglloyd and my conclusion is similar to yours:No guys... I am back with my interest in the DPQ series.
Given a longer time studying the Aperture Mosaic series from Lloyd of the OOC files leaves me with very little to criticize. This is a flagship per pixel count camera.
The corner to corner sharpness is unmatched by any camera.
There must be a way around regaining the contrast even so it cannot be a DPM like contrast.
But then comparing to i.e. A7R the lack of inherent noise the DPQ shows perhaps leads to a more milky look. The A7R images seems quite harsher and gritty.
The Lloyd series also tells me that many of the image samples we have seen on the net is simply miserable recorded.
Yes, you are rightI was talking about the X100 without 'S'. Fewer pixels and fatter.
comparing the mosaic of DP2M and DP2Q...man the Quattro is a big loser in my eyes! particularly if you compare the bottom right, so much more detail and micro-contrast in the shadow.He did the dolls scene comparing DP2Q and DP2M... the DP2Q didn't impress me much. The mosaics does.
I am waiting for much more from Lloyd. He did a very extended, deep digging and long lasting test of the DPM's.
I am excited to hear those of you who had a loaner. There must be something to report about.
I wouldn't disagree.Color is easy to manipulate in PP.
And the DP2M outshoots the MKIII too.
Only the 800e, A7r, or MF can touch it.
