The new Sigma camera, which costs $ 2000, lacks many features that you may not take seriously. Sigma BF does not have a tilt, screen, hot shoes, cold shoes, any type of camera lens, mechanical shutter, 4K 60, microphone port, or installation inside the body. There is not even a link to connect your shoulder belt. List of lost features long, as a person accustomed to “doing everything” cameras, it could have been abandoned.
But I think you should try. A few weeks after its use, Sigma BF won its bold design, smart controls, clean programs, and the ability to create amazing images. It is a lot to get used to, but the results deserve it.
The camera looks unlike anything else on the market. Its body consists of one mass of aluminum, and the controls of the few buttons have been reduced. The result is an easy to dispense camera that you can take barely Whatever – as long anywhere It does not include professional work. I can’t see myself using this in the studio or as a video camera. But as a sophisticated point, the camera gets incredible results without thinking about it.
Simple and bold design in the body is paired with sharp corners and edges. It is not a particularly comfortable camera to keep it, but not to the point you will harm it. Using one hand is difficult, and the lack of a second belt link is somewhat angry. Sigma wants you to use this camera with a wrist belt, but I prefer to have a choice for both. You can add a link to a three -leg holder, but this is a strange and accurate decision.
I am more welcomed by the Sigma decision to get rid of a set of aspects of the camera and only chose one on her back. This request has become useful in how to use the camera. Along with a small screen in the form of birth control pills over it, connecting to the connection easily allows you to do the settings and change them while flying. I hope there is a way to get rid of the options you go through because I did not need them often. But the phone call made me jump between creative options, such as the percentage of show to height and a lot of films. Forced me to try some new appearance and structures. You have made pictures fun.
Another elegant feature of the phone call is that it turns into an exposure compensation control component when half the pressure on the shutter button. From there you can easily make some rapid changes in exposure. It is a really smart and useful trick. Other buttons in BF can do some elegant tricks as well. If you rest your finger on the operating key, it will show you your last photo until you upload your finger again. It is an elegant way that this camera tends to its modern features.
The simplicity in the interface is well married with the comprehensive speed of the camera. It is almost immediately operated. Switching between the situation is fast. Fast sensor readings. Continuous photography (for a full frame camera). Access to your photo library is ZipPy.
All pictures can be reviewed on a large, bright and sharp screen with a size of 3.2 inches and saved on an internal SSD 230 GB. There are no expandable storage options. This means that you should be more useful about a backup copy of the images and make sure that you are not running out of space. Personally, this decision does not bother me, but I am concerned about what is happening if internal storage fails.
I would like to understand this decision better if Sigma has a good smartphone application to transfer photos. But it is difficult. There is no application and there are no SD cards that means that you can only transfer pictures using an actual cable. Whether you consider this a deal or not, I think we can all agree that the cameras in 2025 should have both internal and expandable storage.
The pictures themselves look great, as you expect a full frame camera. It is sharp, vibrant and full of details. My review unit came with a Sigma lens that has been updated 50 mm F/2, which is the perfect match for this camera. Even in low light, I found that the high -ended ISO noise was well preserved. The pimples themselves were comfortable and had a movie similar to the film, especially when using some of the built -in Sigma movie appearance.

You can find 13 movies simulator on Belgian franc, and this should be enough for most people to find something they like here. My favorite is warm gold, wild, orange, and rich ducks. I mostly used to use warm gold, which won my warm colors, silent red and saturated colors. Unfortunately, there is no way to create your custom film simulation at the present time, which looks like a lost chance. The intended Fujifilm film simulation has created online communities from photographers about their cameras that share their own formulas to help others achieve a different appearance.
I also liked the automatic camera focus system. It is Snappe, has a decent focus, and discovers faces and animals well. I noticed more focus on breathing in the video, but I found it more reliable when taking pictures.
The video is a little of a later idea, though. The 6K camera supports 30 frames per second, and those shots look great. You can photograph in H.264 and H.265 in the Sigma Color Coding Program, and there is a slow 1080 pixel movement of 120 frames per second. But I believe that using this camera for the video highlights its minimal design defects. Changing the settings during flying becomes much more difficult, the lack of a tilt screen that makes it more complicated, and the weak battery life does not help either, and no more visual instability is not equal to more fragrances. I don’t say that you will not get good videos with this camera, but its main focus is definitely in photography.
For $ 2000 camera, there is a lot missing here. Giving this numerical result was more difficult than expected. Despite the long negative list, I had an absolute explosion using this camera over the past few weeks, and even I took some of my favorite my favorites, but I can also not recommend it to everyone because it simply will not meet everyone’s needs. If you are looking for a hybrid power you can do everything, search elsewhere. If you are looking for an interesting and modern camera for use, you take great pictures, have smart use features, and look amazing, BF is a great choice.
I think this camera will leave a long -term impression in the world of photography, not only for its bold design, but its fixed dedication in simplicity. It is very difficult to predict whether Sigma BF will be a commercial success. The price alone may inhibit a lot of people from looking at this camera. But if you look at one and find your interest jammed, you will get a good chance to win your heart. Certainly she did to me.
