Please let me emphasize that I am referring to the Sigma SD14 – what I am saying probably doesn’t apply to newer Sigma cameras. I know the Foveon sensor is worth enough to certain people so that they will get a Sigma camera and remount it so it will take Canon lenses.
Yes, James is right about it having lots of grain in low light – something actually improved by the recent firmware update. However, I have attached a few pictures to illustrate what I mean about colour. They’re not the most awesome pictures; it’s just to illustrate colour.
The first photo is a spectacular sunrise I tried to shoot a few months ago. This is totally un-editted except cropping.
The second picture is to illustrate the good colour I get in flower close-ups – also uneditted.
I don’t seem to be able to attach a third photo, but if you plunk this last photo into Lightroom, you will quickly discover that the colour is there, it’s just very faint unless you increase the saturation.
Any suggestions on how I could counteract this problem on this camera? Or should I just leave it to post-processing?
