Testing forum and Foveon 3D

I recently sold my sd Quattro and thinking of getting the dp3 Quattro, if I can find one at a good price. SD14 looks good, it makes me wanna go to ebay and look for one

I paid my Sigma SD14 $150 USD on eBay

Sigma SD9 (2002)
Sigma SD14 (2007)
Sigma sd Quattro H (2016-17)

I found the images of the SD15 better than of the SD15. So it might be interesting to watch also for SD15 offers. During the time I had both, I preferred the SD15.

Sigma SD14, 2011.

Here's one I shot with my SD1 Merrill a few years ago.

I have just received my copy, I find it very pleasant with a very good grip.

Nice! That 24-105 Art doesn't look as big as I thought it would. I loved my SD14, but it was quite slow (like my SD1 Merrill), and it overheated if I shot a lot of photos in just a few minutes (like if I was filling up the buffer two or three times in a row). These days 5 MP photos just aren't enough to fill my 4K screen, so I look to the future with the hope that Sigma will make a camera with a Foveon sensor that captures photos with at least 8K resolution on the top layer. (I'm pretty happy with Quattro image quality, but a full-frame sensor with the same density as the Merrills would be the cat's meow, as far as I'm concerned.)

Sigma cameras are not racing beasts.
Every time I use a Sigma, I feel like I'm falling into a coma.
Nice photo by the way, and a very pretty model

HI Scott,

it is difficult to concentrate on the text in that posting

Whatever you said about Sigma has to be right...

I used an SD14 for a while with the 18-200mm OS lens, and enjoyed it a lot.
On paper it doesn't seem anything special, but the handling is good and the images (are/can be) excellent.

I bought my used DP3 Quattro last summer, direct from USA Sigma NY Outlet. Sigma company (not 3rd party). Items from Sigma Outlet come with a guarantee period, what you don't see on eBay etc.
