sorry,I didnt want to be harsh,
I just was on my handy, and didnt see the explanations on flickr so I missed them.

PS: just noticed sharpness in SPP is set to -0,1; I know this from older releases and the Merrills, but here maybe its not the best, a little sharpening applied to the Canon and the Sigma image brings a noticeable detail boost to the Sigma.

I think the review was overly negative and the problems exaggerated.

It is not really that big of a problem to convert X3F files en masse to TIFF's IMO.

On my computer it takes about 30 secs per file.

Once they are in TiFF format you can pretty much do as you like w them.

And by saying all of this I am not saying that things could not use some improvement.

Just that these guys were too critical IMO.

The Sigma compacts were never designed to be mainstream. They are a specialist tool.

I for one am glad it's that way. Don't want the masses using my secret weapons.

;)

And as far as crashing goes. Mine never crashed once using the latest version.

If you use Mac OS 10.10.1 and Safari DO NOT attempt to visit this site via the image link. I did and Safari was locked into a phishing website alert telling you to call an 800 number immediately about a security issue. Do that and they will attempt to extort money from you to unlock Safari. The simple escape is to force quit and on reopening Safari and elect to NOT reopen windows from last session.
