Products

Sigma produces interchangeable lenses for camera systems from different manufacturers. Around four thousand lenses are manufactured every day in the company's own factory in Aizu . Sigma also manufactures digital SLR cameras with a proprietary Sigma-SA lens mount . Since 2008, Sigma has been the first manufacturer to offer a digital compact camera with a large image sensor in APS-C format, the DP1 . The digital cameras are equipped with the Foveon X3 - image sensor equipped; this sensor has hardly been used so far.

Cameras

Sigma SD1 Merrill

The SIGMA SD1 Merrill SLR camera

The Sigma SD1 Merrill is a digital single lens reflex camera with 46 effective megapixels (4800 × 3200 × 3 layers) and 44 recording megapixels (4,704 × 3,136 × 3 layers). The camera is equipped with a Foveon X3 image sensor, which - according to the manufacturer - not only guarantees fine color gradations, but also gives each image a spatial character.

The SD1 Merrill also features an autofocus system with an 11-field double cross sensor, a 3.0 inch TFT color monitor with a resolution of around 460,000 pixels, and a customizable user interface with a quick set menu. The camera can be used with over 40 Sigma lenses, including ultra wide angle, ultra telephoto, macro and fisheye lenses .

Sigma dp0 Quattro

Like the other cameras in the dp Quattro series, the dp0 Quattro has the new Foveon X3 sensor, which can record light of the primary colors in three levels. The design differs from the other cameras and has a rather large 14 mm lens (21 mm on a 35mm camera). Thanks to the wide-angle lens, the dp0 Quattro is particularly suitable for taking landscape photos. It has a resolution of 33 physical or 29 effective megapixels. Both JPG and RAW photos can be made. The dp0 Quattro has no video function.

Sigma dp1 Quattro

The SIGMA dp1 Quattro with a focal length of 19mm

At Photokina 2014, the company presented the dp1 Quattro. With a focal length of 19mm (which corresponds to 28mm on a 35mm SLR camera), the dp1 Quattro is particularly suitable for wide-angle photography. In addition, it is particularly bright with an aperture of F2.8. The dp1 Quattro is also equipped with the new Foveon X3 sensor, which with its various layers can capture all information of visible light. The camera also has a resolution of 39 megapixels. The light sensitivity goes up to ISO 6.400 and can be adjusted in 1/3 EV steps. The housing is made of a magnesium alloy and the design corresponds to that of the dp2 Quattro. The photos can be viewed on a 3-inch monitor with a resolution of 920,000 pixels.

Sigma dp2 Quattro

The SIGMA dp2 Quattro with Foveon sensor

With the SIGMA dp2 Quattro, a new concept of high-resolution compact cameras with the next generation of the Foveon X3 direct image sensor has been created. The size of the Foveon X3 Quattro remains the same at 23.5 × 15.7 mm, but the number of blue light detectors has changed. Compared to the red and green ones underneath, the sensor has four times more blue diodes. In contrast to the previous generation, in addition to a resolution increased by 30% from effectively around 29 megapixels, in particular the higher light sensitivity has been further developed up to ISO 6400.

The dp2 Quattro has a lens with a fixed focal length of 30mm (approx. 45mm KB equivalent) and a maximum aperture of F2.8. The fundamentally redesigned design with a molded handle, which also offers space for the new BP-51 battery , is intended to improve the handling of the camera. The newly installed image processing processor Tru (Three-layer Responsive Ultimate Engine) III also ensures faster and lower-noise image development.

According to the manufacturer, the SIGMA Sigma dp series will also be expanded to include the dp1 and dp3 Quattro. The new generation of sensors and the redesigned design are also adopted for these models.

Sigma dp3 Quattro

dp3 Quattro with a 50mm lens

The dp3 Quattro has a 50mm lens with a maximum aperture of 2.8. The lens corresponds to 75 millimeters on a 35mm camera and is therefore a light telephoto lens which is also suitable for macro photography due to the reproduction ratio of 1: 3. The SLD glass element and a molded aspherical lens are intended to reduce image errors. Like the other models in the dp Quattro series, the dp3 Quattro also has the improved Foveon X3 sensor.

Sigma DP1 Merrill

Compact camera SIGMA DP1

The Sigma DP1 Merrill is the newest model from the Sigma DP1 series . The digital camera is equipped with a fixed 19 mm fixed focal length wide-angle lens and has a Foveon X3 image sensor. The maximum image resolution is 46 megapixels (4,800 × 3,200 × 3 layers), and film sequences can be created in VGA quality (640 × 480 pixels).

The DP1 Merrill is equipped with a 3.0 inch TFT color monitor with a resolution of around 920,000 pixels. A manual focus is also available and individual user settings can be made via the Quick Set menu.

Sigma DP2 Merrill

The SIGMA DP2 Merrill with Foveon sensor

The Sigma DP2 Merrill is the latest model from the Sigma DP2 series and has largely the same features as the Sigma DP1 Merrill. In contrast to the DP1, however, the DP2 has a permanently installed 30 mm fixed focal length standard lens.

Sigma DP3 Merrill

While the DP1 Merrill is designed for wide-angle shots and the DP2 Merrill for the standard range, the DP3 is intended to cover the medium telephoto and macro range and thus complete the DP series. The technical equipment of this digital camera largely corresponds to that of the sister models, whereby it has a permanently installed 50 mm fixed focal length telephoto lens.

Sigma sd Quattro

Mirrorless system camera with an APS-C sensor (eff. 33 MP) from the dp-Quattro series, which is equipped with the SIGMA SA interchangeable lenses.

Sigma sd Quattro H

Mirrorless system camera with an APS-H sensor (eff. 45MP) based on the new principle of the dp-Quattro series, which is equipped with the SIGMA SA interchangeable lenses.

Sigma fp

The compact Sigma fp camera housing has a high-resolution 35-millimeter full-format image sensor with 24.6 effective megapixels. It is (as of February 2020) the smallest and lightest digital camera housing available on the market with such an image sensor. With the model, Sigma follows the principle of a modular camera: the minimalist camera has neither a built-in viewfinder nor a hot shoe or built-in flash, but these can be retrofitted individually as accessories. A handle is also only available as an additional accessory.

Lenses

Sigma offers wide-angle , standard , telephoto and macro lenses for full-frame cameras and cameras in APS-C format. The company not only manufactures lenses for Sigma cameras, but also for the brands Canon , Nikon , Sony , Pentax and Micro Four Thirds .

Product lines

At photokina 2012, Sigma presented three new product lines into which all new lenses will be grouped in the future: In the C (contemporary), A (art) and S (sports) lines, the lenses are not divided according to their fixed focal length, but based on their Usage type.

  • The C (contemporary) line includes standard, telephoto and superzoom lenses, which have a particularly compact design. As an all-rounder, they are suitable, for example, for landscape shots, family photos and snapshots.
  • Among line A (art) fall lenses for the artistic demands, such as bright fixed focal length, wide angle, and fisheye macro lenses. They should be particularly suitable for studio photography, architecture and astro photography.
  • The S (sports) line includes lenses that are suitable for quick sports shots, i.e. telephoto and super-telephoto lenses.

software

Sigma Photo Pro

With the Sigma Photo Pro software, image processing and conversion of RAW - into JPEG - or TIFF files can be carried out with all cameras of the SD series, DP series and dp-quattro series. Version 6.x can be downloaded free of charge for Windows 7+ and Mac OS from version 10.7 (6.3.0).

As of December 2016, software version 6.5.1 is available for Windows 7+ and Mac OS 10.8+.

With older cameras, data transfer is only possible with a card reader due to the lack of a driver.

Version 5.5.3 is still available for users of older operating systems such as Windows XP and Vista, as well as MacOS from 10.4.

SIGMA Capture Pro

SIGMA Capture Pro enables photographers to connect the SD1 and SD1 Merrill cameras to the computer and use the computer to remotely control camera settings and recordings.

The software is available free of charge to all Windows users (Windows XP (SP2 or higher), Windows Vista or Windows 7 or higher) and Mac users (Mac OS X Ver. 10.5 or higher) in version 1.1.1. Version 1.2.0 is available for Windows 7 to 10 and MacOS 10.8-10.11.

SIGMA Optimization Pro

SIGMA Optimization Pro is special, free software that enables lenses from the new product lines to be connected to your computer via the SIGMA USB dock and to adapt the lens to your requirements with options such as firmware updates and focus settings. An improved adaptation of the respective lens to your own camera is also possible at home. The current version is 1.3 for Windows 7-10 and MacOS 10.8-10.11.

With the SIGMA USB-DOCK UD-01, the interchangeable lenses of the three Sigma lens product lines (Contemporary, Art and Sports) are set with the software.

service

Connection change service

Since September 2013, customers have been able to convert lenses from the Contemporary, Art and Sports product line to a different connection system as part of the "connection change service". For a fee of 100 to 325 euros or 100 to 400 francs, all relevant parts of the lens can be exchanged in Japan so that it can be used with a new camera. This should enable photographers who change their camera system to continue using their Sigma lenses without any problems.

Warranty and product registration

Germany

Customers who bought a lens introduced there in Germany and register it online receive an extended 3-year warranty from Sigma. As a result of the camera registration, customers are informed about promotions, firmware and software updates as well as new accessories by email.

Switzerland

Lenses imported into Switzerland have been subject to a lifelong guarantee since 2009, which is guaranteed by the general importer, including free annual cleaning and inspection. Registration is not necessary. This is intended to contain the gray market , on whose products the customer can only claim the statutory 2-year guarantee from the seller concerned. However, the lenses are around 20% more expensive compared to lenses for the German market - in comparison, Canon and Nikon lenses are cheaper in Switzerland than in Germany.

Loan service

For customers who do not want to buy a specific product straight away, Sigma or its general importers offer a loan service in various countries. Current cameras and lenses can be borrowed for up to four weeks and tested for a fee.

Repair service

The company, its branches or its general importers offer repair services, which can be used to carry out service or repair work on SIGMA products in the event of damage.
