Sigma dp0 Quattro Digital Camera

The Sigma dp0 Quattro is a dedicated ultra-wide angle camera that leverages Foveon sensor tech to deliver incredible images—but it's got more than its share of quirks.

• +

  Incredible image quality. Unique ultra-wide fixed lens. Crisp rear display. Solid control layout. Add-on optical viewfinder loupe available.

• -

  Slow. Poor battery life. Image quality suffers at higher ISOs. Rear-facing grip isn't for everyone. No video support or built-in flash.

It’s clear that the Sigma dp0 Quattro is no ordinary camera. With its 14mm lens it’s even further from being a mainstream product than the rest of the Quattro range. However, this counts in its favour, because you’ll seriously struggle to find an ultra-wide lens that’s anywhere near as good for the...

The first thing that strikes you about the dp0 is its shape. With its low, flat profile, huge lens barrel and rearward-angled handgrip, it can only really be described as odd. The 14mm f/4 lens itself is the widest angle ever seen on any fixed-lens compact, giving a 21mm-equivalent view.

Compared to some of the ultra-wide lenses available the Sigma dp0 Quattro offers quite good value for money if you consider that you are buying an ultra-wide rectilinear lens with a camera that has a sensor capable of delivering 35+ megapixel images.

Essentially identical to the previous three Quattro cameras, the new DP0 Quattro extends the family even further by offering a 21mm equivalent ultra-wide-angle lens that offers a 90-degree view of the world.

Excellent lens. I always wanted an extreme wide angle lens, but couldn't afford one form my dslr. In the sigma I get the best color sensor and an excellent lens. Slow, yes, but my work requires slow and precise methodology. Could be happier.

I came to this camera from a Leica M. My decision was between a 21 mm additional lens or the dp0 lens+camera, at 1/2 the price compared to a Leica lens. The sensor is the one and only reason why one should buy this camera.

I am a streetphotographer. The Sigma dp0 Quattro or any Sigma camera for that matter is not ideal for this kind of photography. Landscape or architectural photography where one can take his time, yes. The autofocus is slow. The writing speed is turtle pace.

Simple and easy.Only concern is the delivery, they left a thousand dollars packaging in front of the door for 5 hours till I am back to home.

The camera and the 14mm lens not so balance well ,as the other DP models like the DP1 or the DP 2 because the 14mm lens much longer than other DP Quattro lens .Good for walking around wide angle in the city or as a hiking point & shoot camera.The 14mm f4.0 lens sharp and clear but it should be a...

If you shoot wide angle, this should be part of your gear. Architecture and occasionally landscapes are what I shoot, and have used a Canon for about 12 or 13 years. The past 5-6 years have been a 5D or 6D with a TS-E 17mm, and didn't think anything new would come along to make me switch to another...

As a full-time college teacher of photography, I use this camera to create my art. I use the 21:9 ratio when taking pictures and this lens offers a very wide view. I also like the variety of controls this camera allows when shooting black and white images with it.
