Making sense of Sigma's 'Beautiful Foolishness'
When you use DPReview links to buy products, the site may earn a commission. The new Sigma BF is a truly distinct camera, differing in just about every way from other mirrorless cameras currently on the market. In our latest video, Managing Editor Richard Butler goes hands-on with the BF, revealing his early thoughts and first impressions of this unique device. The BF's looks are, naturally, what first catches your attention. It features a striking, minimalistic design that pares down controls to all but the absolute essentials. Richard walks through how unique the menu system and controls are, explaining how the single control dial and small display above it are the primary methods of interacting with the camera. He also explains that while the BF is missing lots of things – no IBIS, no electronic viewfinder and no mechanical shutter – it still gets a lot of things right. It's still relatively early in our testing of the BF, but Richard will be taking it on an upcoming vacation to put it through its paces. Be sure to stay tuned to hear more about how this camera lives up to its bold expectations.
