Sigma dp3 Quattro Digital Camera
The Creme of the Crop
I have been using the dp1,dp2 & dp3 Quattro for a while now. Prior to the Quattro I used the dp Merrill series for several years. An UWA lens matched to a Foveon sensor is icing on the cake. And what a sweet lens this is. It's virtually distortion free with exceptionally low CA and vignetting. I can't think of any UWA camera set up under $ that can perform anywhere near as well as this camera. Yes, it has it's quirks, but it's much more user frie... Show More

Great Images
Use this camera on a tripod if possible or rest it on a wall etc. when shooting. Be patient when it's processing. The camera takes approx 15sec to produce those very sharp images. Use this camera like you would a medium format camera. It's not for action, or continuous shooting. (Camera will heat up when left on and used for approx 15 min - it will auto shut down to cool off) This camera produces sharp, professional, great images !!! This is not ... Show More

Medium format film like color renditions
Portraits Close ups in naturee. I photographed the same varigated rose with the DP3 Quattro (75mm equivalent in 35mm format, a Sony A7r with a Leica 90mm, a Fuji XT1 (my previous favorite color rendition camera)a Nikon D800 E with a Nikon 105mm macro lens and a Canon EOS 1Dx Mk III and a Canon 105mm macro lens and the colors from the DP3 were by far and a way the best! Fuji was a close second, and the other camera sensors bled the colors together... Show More

Another Winner
For those interested in image quality in a portrait focal length camera, the DP3 Quattro delivers. I purchased this camera to use as a lightweight landscape camera along with the DP 2 Quattro. I also own a Nikon D800E, which this camera competes with from a resolution standpoint. While the camera has some quirkiness as far as design, speed of operation and speed of Sigma's RAW software, they aren't really factor considering overall image quality. If you are into landscape photography and still life type work, I'd recommend this camera.

delivers the special images as promised by the sensor
I came to this camera from a Leica M. My decision was between a 21 mm additional lens or the dp0 lens+camera, at 1/2 the price compared to a Leica lens. The sensor is the one and only reason why one should buy this camera. It is awesome at its sweet point (iso100, f5.6, 60sec) and difficult in any other setting. This is a landscape camera and unbeatable at that. I record in jpeg fine, which read into lightroom no problem and convert to DNG. The uncompressed TIFF for that yields 79MB.

Exceptional IQ
As a full-time college teacher of photography, I use this camera to create my art. I use the 21:9 ratio when taking pictures and this lens offers a very wide view. I also like the variety of controls this camera allows when shooting black and white images with it. The lens is very sharp and truly creates images that are exceptional in their range of tones. I also use the LCD viewfinder. I recommend this camera for its quality of build, design and IQ.

Wow, just wow
The DP2 Quattro is not a camera for everyone. If you are willing to use a tripod, 100 osi speed, and Sigma's software. You can have some of the best images taken with a digital camera. It is a little quirky, but the images are worth the extra work. It is not for street photography, night photography, or sports photography. But for landscape photography where it shines. The 30mm lens on this camera is the sharpest I have ever used on a digital camera.

Sigma Quattro- DP0
The camera and the 14mm lens not so balance well ,as the other DP models like the DP1 or the DP 2 because the 14mm lens much longer than other DP Quattro lens .Good for walking around wide angle in the city or as a hiking point & shoot camera.The 14mm f4.0 lens sharp and clear but it should be a f2,8 lens for this price ring camera .

fun camera to experiment with
very sharp lens, easy to learn camera, what i like best is shooting in raw and doing the in-camera processing. i've also downloaded the sigma photo processing software to my computer, but end up using the in-camera processing because it's easy. very high quality images if you follow the advice you read here on other reviews.

Awesome camera, Beautiful appearance
I use this camera for everyday shooting. It has a pretty cool appearance. Really easy to use. Quality is very stick. Works better with a tripod.A great alternative for SLR camera. Performs not really well during the night or with high ISO. But still a good camera. Right choice for travel shooting.

Excellent Lens
Excellent lens. I always wanted an extreme wide angle lens, but couldn't afford one form my dslr. In the sigma I get the best color sensor and an excellent lens. Slow, yes, but my work requires slow and precise methodology. Could be happier.

MF in a small package
Shoot mostly Landscape.Works great for that.If you use the Quattro within it's operating windowit's hard to beat.The image quality is on a par with cameras like the A7r and D800 for a fraction of the price.
