Nice! Whats this I read about 42 mp sensor?!? I just bought a d800 and this little thing is trying to outdo it! Nice crisp lens by the looks of it too.
Thanks for sharing

just added a few other ones

pretty neat camera Daros, I like the crisp of the photos..

[daros]

i like it.. the results are the exact opposite as todays "vintage" style. Looks more like a scientific optical tool.

Church shot is great, great tonal range, but is there some sharpening or jpeg artifact going on?... I've had a DP1 for ages (the low-res first gen wide-angle sigma) it doesnt have this sharp look?

This merril looks like it will be good with P-scan.

please retouch the license plates on that car photo

Stunning sharpness and quality from that camera. I would love to own one of those!

Is there some strong in-camera sharpening going on? Some parts have a strange aliasing:



Still, it seems a great little camera.

[daros]

yes mihai this image has some additional sharpening. Too much as you say.
this is the original image converted from raw without changes

whoa

Dear Santa... I want one!

I had a look on the web at the raw and jpg output from this cam, and quite often I prefer the jpg because the raw seems to have a slight hdr effect where there is too much detail/light in the shadows. I guess its possible to adjust this in post and gives you more options, but is the sensors raw ouput effectively seeing the world in a different way than we do?

Actually thinking about it this raw output is extremely useful.

[daros]

Hi Eric, i think the hdri effect you are talking about is because some exaggerate usage of the "fill light" filter of sigmas software.

here are to samples.

raw converted without any enhancements

and color corrected in sigmas software

The problems of this camera are with low light conditions. Very difficult to make portraits with 800 or more iso.

Daros: Have you got one of these beautiful cameras already ?! since the image you post are linked to your website. If you have one, i'm curious how you got your hands on it ?

marketing joke .. 3 colors * 15MP = ~ 45MP
