Heute wird’s richtig interessant für alle, die auf viele Megapixel und die Möglichkeiten von Raw-Dateien um keinen Preis verzichten wollen – trotzdem aber eine kleine, leichte, einfach handliche Kompaktkamera zu schätzen wissen. Die DP1 Merrill von Sigma verbindet einfach beide Welten.
Die wichtigsten und gleichzeitig erstaunlichsten Eigenschaften der Sigma DP1 Merrill haben wir schon in den ersten Absatz gestopft. Jetzt aber Zahlen: Sie ist nur 12,15 cm breit, 6,67 cm hoch und 6,43 cm tief. Und gerade einmal 340 g „schwer“. Passend dazu arbeitet sie mit SD-Karten und ist SDHC-kompatibel.

Riesige 46 (in Worten: sechsundvierzig!) Megapixel zeichnet der Vollfarben-Direktbildsensor der Größe 23,5×15,7 mm auf. Und zwar in drei Schichten, also alle RGB-Grundfarben in jedem einzelnen Pixel.
Diese ganzen Farb- und Helligkeitsinformationen werden im Raw- oder JPG-Format oder wahlweise auch Raw + JPG gespeichert, im Fall der Raw-Daten natürlich verlustfrei. In der mitgelieferten Software SIGMA Photo Pro können die Raw-Bilder betrachtet und bearbeitet werden.


Verbaut ist ein lichtstarkes Objektiv mit f/2.8 und 19mm Brennweite, das entspricht 28mm an einer Vollformat-Kamera. FLD-Glas, blankgepresste asphärische Linsen und die Super-Multi-Layer-Vergütung sorgen für eine astreine Bildqualität. Manuell Fokussieren ist mit dem Fokusring natürlich auch möglich.
Apropos Fokus: 9 Autofokus-Messfelder stehen zur Verfügung. Auf dem 3″-TFT-Farb-LCD-Display kann die Darstellung außerdem vergrößert werden, um ganz exakt zu fokussieren. Schön sind auch die Helligkeit und der weite Betrachtungswinkel – so macht ein Monitor wieder Spaß.

Hier gibt’s alle Detail zur Sigma DP1 Merrill. Die unverbindliche Preisempfehlung liegt bei 1.099 €. Wenn das keine perfekt geeignete Kamera zum Beispiel für High-End Streetfotografie ist, dann wissen wir auch nicht. Wir freuen uns darauf, mit ihr jemanden sehr glücklich zu machen!

Few technologies over the years have raised as much passion as Foveon sensors. Regular readers will know that I have (slowly) become a fan of the latest generation of Merrill sensors in the DP2M and DP1M Sigma cameras.
A few of my friends, including our regular contributor Nick Devlin, were knocked out by the image quality that these cameras are capable of (if not their actual cameraness) and bought a DP2M as soon as they saw large prints with their own eyes.
Now, Nick, on a recent trip to his native Calgary, Alberta, has joined Chris Niccolls of The Camera Store in producing a video report on their experiences shooting with these two Sigmas.
Keep your sense of humour, and enjoy.
Happy Holidays!

The Luminous Landscape – What’s New
Earlier this year Sigma outlined a new vision for its product line-up, with lenses to be split into three categories: Contemporary, Sports and Art. The 35mm F1.4 DG HSM is the first release in the latter, and is designed to offer a relatively affordable alternative to the camera manufacturers’ equivalents. It works on both full frame and APS-C cameras, and will be available in mounts for all major brands. In our latest review in partnership with DxOMark, we take a detailed look at how it performs, including test data from all of its closest competitors to see how it measures up.

Here i review the Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 Lens – Nikon Fit. It’s a good lens for the money, and it is still one of the widest on the market for DX (APS-C) Sensors. Old review of the 10-20 F4-5.6: www.youtube.com Twitter: twitter.com Filmed on the NIkon D3100 with the Nikkor 18-55mm and Sigma 10-20mm

We’ve just posted a gallery of shots from Sigma’s new 35mm F1.4 DG HSM prime lens, showing off its capabilities in a range of different environments, across its aperture range. We were very excited to start using this lens, and so far, it doesn’t disappoint. Our gallery contains 23 photographs taken using the Canon EOS-1D X and 5D Mark III, and includes several images converted from Raw. A full review is on its way before the end of the year, but for now, we hope you enjoy our gallery of initial images. Click through for a link to the gallery.

Sigma has released their latest fast-apertured prime in the form of an 85mm f/1.4, a popular focal length for portrait photographers. With Nikon and Canon’s offerings costing a considerable amount more, does the Sigma offer up enough quality to be a good enough alternative to the big brands’ lenses? Is it sharp? What’s the bokeh like? Find out in this video.
