Sigma DP2 Quattro

Slowing down and appreciating image quality – The Sigma DP2 Quattro full review

The term image quality is generally used to refer to the technical aspects of a photograph generated by a camera. It defines how good an image is from a purely technical point of view: sharpness, colour accuracy, details, noise, dynamic range and so on.

However there is also another side to image quality that is less technical and more related to what the photographer does with the camera. It is more subjective (but not any less important).

Medium Format in a small package? – First impressions of the Sigma DP2 Quattro

During Photokina we paid an enjoyable visit to the Sigma booth to meet some managers from the UK office. One of them was kind enough to let me play around with the Sigma DP-2 Quattro inside the Koelnmesse. It was certainly a better way of quickly testing a camera than being confined to the booth area!

The DP2 Quattro is the latest generation in the Sigma DP series which consists of three different cameras with a Foveon APS-C sensor and fixed prime lens. The difference between the three all comes down to focal length. The DP2 has a 30mm f/2.8 which corresponds to a 45mm in full frame format.
