CP+ 2014: Hands-on with Sigma DP2 Quattro

13 Feb

We’ve never accused Sigma of lacking innovation, and while the Japanese manufacturer is best known for making lenses, Sigma also markets a line of cameras. The latest – the DP2 Quattro – features an all-new ~19.6 million pixel APC-C Foveon sensor and a completely new body design. Is this (in Sigma’s words) a ‘reinvention of camera’? We won’t know until we’ve tried one out, but in the meantime click through for an initial hands-on look.
