Is there a grid?

I love my SD Quattro H for landscape photography. I can take my time, enjoy the experience, appreciate the fantastic results, and have made it my main camera for landscape.... So much so that I bought a second H. It is fun to shoot and produces unbelievably beautiful photographs.

Hello there, mine isn't holding charge, it turns on while plugged in, but nothing when unplugged, any tips?

I got a dp0 quattro in early 2024, what a journey it has been...It has learned me so much about color and processing...I love it, SPP isn't nearly as bad as some say, in fact it is very well thought out, just a bit slow. Sigma's quattro sensor can get lovely in higher ISO settings in lower light conditions as well if you love weird color shifts and accept its digital imperfections as an aesthetic. It has made all my former digital photography experiences with fuji-x and ricoh gr completely obsolete (ricoh latest gr sensor is garbage regarding both colors and contour definition, fuji x-trans IV is somewhat acceptable but colors are definitely not subtle, terrible greens, reds and blues) . This year I decided to take a plunge in film photography instead of trying former foveon sensors (mostly for the creative choices various film emulsions naturally offer and for the organic detail resolution), but I'm waiting for the sd quattro tomorrow, which I'll use to scan my negatives and in order to have different focal options in case film related expenses get in the way. I hope sigma will pursue their foveon adventure, they can potentially achieve a digital photography revolution with this.

I just found one in my parent's basement over the holiday. Got some Amazon batteries and turned it on. IQ so far is good but I have one with a finicky shutter button. I took the casing off and put a few small pieces of masking tape between the physical silver button and the membrane switch underneath to make it easier to push down. Now the pre-focus is a bit wonky but at least the camera will take pictures. Excited to take it out for a walk and see how it does.

I'd am curious to see how you use Sigma PhotoPro to edit the raw file. I have the H and the editing Panel on the right side seems rather mysterious

You criticised the Canon for it's poor close focus , but noticed that the Pentax is worse ! 0.3m Canon , 0.4m Pentax . . . I'm confused .

Nice comparison video, very interesting and informative

I’m not sure if you’ll see this but; how much work did you have to do post processing wise, of the images and how is its auto focus. I’m think if getting an SD9 and although not shy in playing with photos after the fact, I tend to like them turn out as they were shot.

The xd card is very expensive, I don't know how to transfer the photos to my cell phone

Thanks for the video! I never thought about asking local animal shelters to take some nice photos of the animals. I originally clicked on this to take better photos of my cats as I am just starting in photography. Once I get more confidence in my photography, I definitely want to reach out to my local shelters.

Nicely put together video!

Is the dsc s50 any good in comparison? I like that it has a flip screen and i love this whole cameras deal

The Industar was hit and miss. Mine was good enough for what I use it for.

New things! I thought I don't dare to do that 🎉

Hey Nate, glad you're back. At one point your channel got hacked. I hope everything is well now. The moment I saw that your channel is uploading clickbait fortnite videos I wrote your mail-provider and made a case with youtube so they freeze the account. I don't know if it helped or if you even realised it. Anyways - Glad that we can enjoy your videos again. Greetings.

I found one on facebook marketplace for under 40 bucks I have an older Olympus small digital camera that works sometimes and other times it doesn’t work very well.

I have had 5 of these over the past 5 or 6 years. There are two very common problems with the P880 - (1) Fungus! The front element is actually two pieces and the fungus gets in between them. Despite keeping my studio humidity low two of my cameras had fungus within a year of getting them used. You never know how the cameras have been treated in the past if you buy used. (2) The power switch can get spastic and not power on or off at times, sometimes just random while using it. A shot of good contact cleaner under the switch and working the switch with the battery out is all that is needed sometimes. A few years ago I shot a P880 alongside an Oly E-500 (Kodak sensor). The similarities of the output were so extremely close it surprised a lot of people. So, it's closer to a DSLR than you might think!

superbness

Speaking of knowing what APS-C is and is not. Primarily it is not a crop sensor. But putting the wrong lens on a APS-C you end of losing some of the image. That is your fault not the sensor’s error. So go out and buy over priced lens and putting on a camera with a APS-C camera. I use Fujifilm X cameras and you can only use lenses designed for the X mount which uses APS-C sensors. In short APS-C sensors are not cropped only your lack of knowledge is.

I have collected a few Vivitar 28 mm. But everyone says they are made by other manufactures. but none seem to look like yours. Cosina, tokina sigma

how do i transfer the pictures to my computer?

I have been on a bit of a Kodak buying spree, while older Canons and Nikons are getting more expensive, the Kodaks are still cheap. P712 was great also, P850 wasnt bad and can deliver nice results, Z812 and Z712 are cool also, I rather like the DX7590 too (5mp with a massive EVF and robust build), but the P880 is still my favourite!!!! TOP TIP when buying on ebay, many Kodaks are sold super cheap as "untested" because the seller has lost the battery and/or charger, all the P series and several DX cams use the same battery and charger and are interchangeable. Same with the Z series which use the 3.7v Klic 8000, I have never bought a Kodak untested that didnt work when I put a charged battery in it and some have cost under £10!!!! One of the great things about these old Kodaks (apart from the lovely image quaality) is that they all have an EVF viewfinder, sadly lacking on so many cameras now

I prefer the 24-105, f/4 Art as a lens that meets all of my need for landscape photography. A faster kens has never been a requirement because I usually shoot at f/8.

I have one of these right now, really sharp Zeiss optics

I just planed to help out a shelter for taking photos for practice for me 😊

I have the SD Quattro H and love it. While it might be fair to criticize this camera for all of it's shortcomings, of which there are many, the whole point of photography is the image. And this is where the Quattro really shines. My favorite lens for this camera is the Sigma 24-105 Art.

Reading and listening was pretty annoying and impossible with longer image descriptions, but damn, this vide is full of really great photos, you're a really good photographer! I rarely see a "review" with pictures this great

Very nice...I like your style and subscribed. By the way, I have both the 27 and the 18-55 and your assessment is spot on. Keep up the good work! RJ

I just brought one from eBay and found this video, what is the raw converter you use? I think it would be better to have noise reduction function

I just pulled mine out of the drawer. It’s spotless. I’m stoked to see how this rolls with my Fujifilm x100v. Will report back on old battery life.

What is the modified lens you put on it and why , please let us know

Sigma's Foveon cameras are so appealing in some ways, but in other ways they seem horrible. The images can be gorgeous but there are so many compromises that make it a hard sell. I Hope Sigma makes a camera with this tech that is a bit less strange someday, because they really have something amazing on their hands.

I had an old copy of this lens i used on a Nikon D5600. The results were amazing and I often regret selling it when I moved to full frame. I’m a long time Foveon fan and recently picked up an SD Quattro, as soon as I saw this video I knew what I needed to do. The results are incredible, and monochrome….wow. Thank you

That was a great walk through :) Just grabbed one Waiting on it:) I love the ccd ship look Hope it still gives it a retro vibe I also like really trashy video I would of loved to see what the video looked like on this

I use a couple of replacement 'chili power' brand batteries. While I get the ' this is not a Sony battery ' warning ones in a while, I find that when I engage the half-press shutter right after turning the camera on, it will work just fine. Bought a - still sealed! - Agfa digital photo frame today with a Memory Stick port included. 🎉

The newer 27 with aperture ring and WR is even better.

Just got one of these, really digging it so far!

On the photoviewer in Windows 11, it does show the EXIF data in the (I)information menu. The image at 30:30 has color as I would expect from a Fuji Velvia or similar slide that was taken midday. One of the reasons these old cameras are getting a following is the color science in them was meant to be more film-like to entice people to switch to digital. With the AI-assisted resizing programs today, either in Photoshop & Lightroom or standalone like GigapixelAI, you can upsize these low MP images to some decent enlargements. But, most enthusiasts for these cameras will be probably showing most images on things like Instagram and such. I just picked one of these up at a local pawn shop for $18 just for grins. I used to do the same with cheap and toy cameras when I was shooting seriously with film "back in the day." To get back to the fun of it and play. It came with a Sony battery, charger, and a Kastar battery that yep. Fires up and then says, "Nope, you can't play with this one." Okay, I'm paraphrasing there. Thanks for showing some love for these old cameras and sharing them with the rest of us. Side note: Arnold looks so much like my cat, Nyxie. And I think we have the same printer. Obviously people of discerning tastes. LOL.

I have the Pentax SMC Takumar 28/3.5 (not the 2.8) and that is sharper across the frame (APS-C) than my copy of the Canon FDn 28/2.8 at all apertures. Might be a matter of QC, as you say, but I also heard that the f/3.5 Takumar wide angle primes are better than the f/2.8 versions.

Actually enjoyed this! Im 39 so i was a young whipper snapper during the age of these digicams! What printer is that you used at the end out of interest?

Glad I found this. I am a Co-founder/volunteer of a cat rescue and this certainly inspired me to practice more and hopefully get some cats adopted that have been in foster for some time.

You missed one fantastic point- which is why i still use this camera after over a decade. It has a screw mount which accepts OPTEKA brand adapter made specifically for the 8612. If you can find one- buy it! The adapter screws in perfectly and allows you to use any 58mm lens including macro, my favorite, and add polarizing lenses and other filters. It is a worthy and sturdy little camera which has lasted a LONG time. And while yes jpeg and 8 pixels are meh- it also has arty yum aspects. I won’t get rid of it and i paid full price New. Good review

Dude cut those talons on your fingers......yikes

Dang I just picked up this camera today and was looking forward to seeing more of your content. It looks like you haven’t posted in a while. I’m very curious about this camera I have a few questions, namely are you saying that it is impossible to use third-party batteries with it? Also, what kind of printer do you use?

I always loved this camera back in the day and recently I have bought not one but two P880s on Ebay!!!! £20 and £22, both "untested" as they came with no charger, but I had one in the back of a drawer and both cameras work 100% fine. I still love this camera, personally I dont shoot RAW but I think the JPEGs look just great and the 24mm wide end is so good, still a good camera even in 2024, what a bargain !!

I have the Sigma version of that Quantary, the Sigma Super Wide II and it is an excellent lens with macro capabilites. I also have the Pentax lens but mine is the 28mm 3.5 which some say is a much better lens than the 28 2.8 . Mine is perfect wide open, although you loose an f stop, of course. By the way I use these lenses on a Fuji X-T2 along with a Canon nFD 50mm 1,4 (Really nice lens).

Very good overview. I'll have to put my S100 to use again, especially in RAW mode.

How could you read the camera's memory because I've been looking for adapters for that type of memory and I can't find any
