Sigma SD15 Digital SLR Camera (14 Megapixel, 7.6 cm display, SD card slot) (Electronics)

Customer Review

The Foveon sensor is known, takes all natürlchen colors (RGB) at the same time on each pixel. The result and also the main argument in favor of my joy: The images have a very unique look. Whether they actually get a 'three-dimensionality' how SIGMA it like propagated, remains to be seen. But crisp, full of details and color-differentiated they are without a doubt.

She is headstrong, shoots in things like light measurement over the top, but you should know that soon and controls in situations where the light-dark contrast is high, just a little down. Man approaches just to slow. With the two wheels choice at the upper side of the body all the essential settings (including Auto Exposure Bracketing and bulp) are very easily accessible. This comes in handy if you like me like to also want to make an HDR image from a motive.

Especially in black and white and get the HDR photos, thanks to its high contrast range again a new dimension and even here, the SD15 suggests quite well. The hoarse wiped shutter sound can be an old canonists once sit up, but is quite enjoyable.

Problems has the good but offebar with the flash synchronization. That should not be actually, since I use a compact flash SIGMA (530 DG ST). Nevertheless, 'the external flash to shoot often in wild amounts of light around him, which then ends in hopeless overexposure. Blame blame!

The kit lens is not the hammer. It has blurring at the lower and upper end of the zooming range. In addition, the AF of this lens also seems to have one or the other communication interference. Especially with low-contrast or bright scenes it pumps too long. Even the image stabilizer should not expect miracles.

Why can not I then do not put it down? This has probably several reasons. On the one hand it is new 'because you just want it like to learn a so challenging camera know quickly and thoroughly. On the other hand it provides with proper use, very nice photos that you want can be reluctant to meet.

Ah yes, the 14 MP Legend: SIGMA sums the approximately 4.6 mega pixels per Foveon sensor layer to those same 14 MP, because the sounds but much better. It remains at the end but it is still only 5 left, but they are perfectly adequate to print the results of household.

In addition offers the SIGMA own development software SIGMA Photo Pro 4.2 the ability to produce 16 bit TIFF files in two size and also see them in 100% not bad view. But it is always a greater effort. If you like screwed on the controls and believes that after the shooting, the shooting is far from over, but the exotic X3F RAW images have his true joy because the SIGMA program can also be retrofitted many manipulations for the better to.
