Sigma dp0 Tests
It was hard to leave my full-sensor camera in the car and spend two days with this new camera, trusting my very recent--3 days--acquaintance with a different type of sensor, and feel, and deliberate idea on how to take a shot. Not since switching to digital (10 years) have I had to re-think how to apply a lifetime of framing, settings and thinking, to how a sensor would react in a given circumstance; I knew how a much used and loved type of film would react, but now it was a sensor. Even more now--this past week--it's a very different type of sensor.
The feel of the camera, too, is all new. Even though I bought the LCD viewfinder, I found myself leaving it in the bag since it took time and a stable surface to install, and once installed was not a shape to fit into any camera bag--or even to swing around one's neck. Besides, unlike the add-on electronic viewfinder on my Canon G3X, the huge Sigma viewfinder screws to the back of the EVF; it's not looking at the sensor but the EVF, and I found that of little help for focusing even if good for framing in bright light.
In low light, as expected, this camera's even trickier--and the image often noisier--than my full sensor cameras, even if the drama remains.
Enjoy test one of the new camera. More to come.
