Sigma DP2 Quattro Shots

Wow Quentin ... this engine room is more clean than the local Hospital in town where I live ;-)
If there was one spill of oil, dust or any fingerprints on that motor, the DP2Q would have shown.
I assume you had the latest FW uploaded as well as the latest SSP in use, then I see far more pop than earlier images showed.

These were some fun from the Supercar event at Syon Park on Friday, where I was fortunate to be invited as a guest.

Well done. Lovely shots. Good processing. I love vintage cars = these shots took me

 

[Quentin_Bargate]

Thanks - some of the cars are a tad mad.....

Quentin, I've gotta ask, given the positioning, what on earth is that thing in the seat for?

Good question, Louis. Might be a patented flatulence disperser, given the volume of Champagne, lobster and other rich foods on offer... Just a theory

^^^ BTW, detail shots are where the DPxx excels imho. ^^^

I finally got to play with DP2Q last week in Park Cameras.

Ergonomically, I am just not impressed. I did like the fact that it was a lot faster, the screen appears to be clearer and the inbuilt level is something which I think is mandatory on all digital cameras, so well done to Sigma for doing this. But I just don't think I want to give up my DP2M or have both.

That said I will probably buy the DP1Q as I do not have the DP1M. I think I actually need to own one of the models just to decide if my prejudices are right or not!

Amazing shots.

I was wondering if you could recommend a Pano software ?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Quentin_Bargate]

Thank, Maitre Ute

I'd recommend PTGui if you are on a PC as I am.

Much appreciated kind Sir.

I believe it's the knob to adjust the seat height.

RIP, Uwe.

Perhaps my question here is out of proper timing since Sigma didn't come to the final SPP version yet. But how do you general feel the things are going? Is the DPQ series in the end going to wipe the floor under the DPM's?

>FF Foveon.. New SPP required.

Means you can have a vacation on save

Finally decided to get a Gigapan unit (used). It comes w/o software.

Want to sell me a copy of your Gigapan stitch (strictly for my personal use) ?

By the way, did you use the very latest version of SPP to process those photos ?

You are welcome to have the Gigapan Stitch for free. I don't use it because it is too slow and crash prone. I use AutoPano Pro 3.x from Kolor.
I used SPP 6.0.5, is that the latest?

Thanks so much. Very generous. Unfortunately I do not have a Mac platform.

No. 6.0.6 is out along with another Firmware update.

Thanks, I just updated both fw and spp. Here is another gloomy Athos shot taken on a rainy day boat trip around the peninsula. Click for lots of detail in the full size image,
