Sigma dp3 Quattro

 

The Sigma dp3 Quattro can capture incredibly sharp macro photos, but its Foveon image sensor isn't cut out for low-light shooting.

Incredibly detailed images at low ISOs. Short telephoto lens with 1:3 macro magnification. Crisp rear LCD. Solid control scheme. Add-on optical viewfinder loupe available.

Slow performer. Lens omits image stabilization. Subpar image quality at higher ISOs. Funky design can be a turnoff. No video support or built-in flash. Short battery life.

Performance and Conclusions Sigma's dp cameras aren't known for speed, and the dp3 is no exception. It requires about 4 seconds to turn on, focus, and fire, and when set to its full range the autofocus system requires about 0.6-second to lock onto a...

Review: Sigma DP3 Quattro

 

The boldly designed camera excels at portrait photography, but is that enough to justify its other quirks?

Superb image quality in good lighting. That funky-looking body is comfortable to hold. Minimalist and uncluttered control scheme. Two batteries in the box

Sluggish autofocus, especially in low light. Disappointing images at ISO 800 and above. No focus-assist features other than magnification. For the camera body’s size, there aren’t enough quick-access controls

Sigma DP3 Quattro Review

 

The Sigma DP3 Quattro is a compact camera with a 39-megapixel APS-C sized Foveon X3 Quattro sensor. The DP3 Quattro's unique sensor outputs 5424x3616-pixel raw images at the highest resolution setting, and is comprised of four seperate layers, with...

Essentially identical to the previous two Quattro cameras, the new DP3 Quattro extends the family by offering a 75mm equivalent short-telephoto lens that also doubles up as a useful tool for macro photography.

Sigma dp3 Quattro Review

 

A radical change. But now, the status quo has gone out the window. With the Sigma dp3 Quattro and its simultaneously-launched siblings, the dp1 Quattro and dp2 Quattro -- the company uses a brand-new image sensor that's fundamentally different to those...

Price and availability. Priced at US$1,000 or thereabouts, the Sigma dp0 Quattro will ship in the US market from April 2015.

Sigma dp3 Quattro

 

The latest version of Sigma's Quattro compact camera features a fast medium telephoto lens with 'macro' capabilities.

The dp3 Quattro is a nice addition to Sigma's compact camera line-up and adds a longer focal length option to the existing dp2 Quattro model. Both cameras operate in a rather small niche and neither is likely to have broad appeal.
