A compact camera is second to none - in doppeldeutigem sense. The image quality. obtained for less than 1000 with this camera is at the level of SLR cars, which must be equipped with excellent optics, have full-size and over 3000 costs. I am always amazed at what brings these Foveon sensor as a final result in Raw format. And then the other side: Autofocus is leisurely, more than 800 ISO it is better not, no camera for quick shots, special raw converter necessary (Sigma Photo Pro - terribly square in the operation, I used it only as a converter in TIFF or JPEG), battery life is a disaster - 2 are already included, I bought 2 more to it. And you need the fastest SD card (95MB / s) so that the storage is bearable. This environment is technical level of 5 years ago and still I am happy with the camera. You come to terms with the disadvantages and receives a picture quality that astonishment, enthusiasm and produces goose bumps. Or the insight, Bayer sensors muddying what everything, even when many pixels are draufgepackt. A camera for photographers who can time their work and want good results. Not for people who are interested in quick shots and for the qualitative result is of secondary importance.
