  1. I have a very quick bit of news. I bought a Sigma SD14 recently. It's old, yes. It's only a 4.4Mpx camera (when you export to JPEG) and it is a bit chunky and in some ways awkward. But, I thought I'd mess around a little bit and compare it to one of my other cameras, an E-M5 II, which has 16Mpx.

     

    I'm also trying to even out the comparison, by comparing JPEG exports from Sigma RAW files vs camera JPEGs from the E-M5.

     

    Results so far: great colour, and a natural sharpness that is so good that even people who sharpen their images will not want to touch that sharpness slider for Foveon files. Latitude and DR? Not as good as a Bayer filter. Challenging colours, like deep, rich rose petals? I need further testing but so far it's about even.

     

    I won't post pictures yet as the tests aren't as precise as they should be. And the camera is too old to make any meaningful comparisons with later Bayer sensors.

    Congrats Karim. Many people like this old school foveon sensor more than latest one.

    Get familiarized and pop it up.
