Can't help ya there.

All i know is that Sigma uses Foveon sensors, so be aware that they multiply their pixel count by three. 15MP = 5MP with arguably better color range and arguably stronger aliasing.

I like the image gallery, very honest of them to post unprocessed images. Some look really great for such a small lens.

It's not a professional camera but it's the best i sow for a 400 euro budget.
The corner to corner sharpeness and the zero lens aberration is stunning.

It's not a Full frame sensor, "SLR sized" in their terms means 20.7mm x 13.8mm (that's APS-C I believe). Full frame would be 36mm x 24mm.

Sorry got that wrong (wikipedia):
