What do you think of the beautiful foolishness from Sigma?

[AlphaWorld]

It’s quite pretty. Not sure about the sharp edge at the back.

I don’t think I’ll buy one for myself, but I might recommend it to someone if it reviews well.

I just don't its place in the working camera world. It doesn't have the video features to be a vlogger camera or any other video centric camera. For stills it isn't for anyone doing sports, wildlife, wedding, studio or macro as it has neither the feature set or hot-shoe/ports. Landscape photographers would very much like to have a flippy screen and given the price point have a number of options. I guess this might work for a street photographer.

I think as a camera it makes for a good camera to show that you have a camera.

Terrible ergonomics. Doesn't look like it's meant to be in a photographer's hands.
Now, if they said it was a video-focused camera meant for a gimbal, then I would understand the design language more.

I don’t really see any advantages of this over a recent smart phone to be honest.

 

[AlphaWorld]

Yeah, we are not the market for this camera.

You can argue that its advantage over a phone is interchangeable lenses, but when you put the 300-600 f/4 on this camera, well, it’s a joke. With short lenses, let’s wait to see what the image quality looks like.

I have a feeling that this camera is going to be for the people who want to have their photograph taken holding a really cool camera (and one even smaller than a Leica M). Not for people who want to be taking the photographs.

And I do still think it’s pretty!

I have three lenses on my iPhone…
