Overview

The Sigma DP3 Quattro is a compact digital camera featuring the innovative Foveon X3 Quattro sensor that captures detailed color data across three layers for improved image quality.

This model employs a 46-megapixel sensor with an effective resolution of about 29 megapixels, offering high-resolution images with exceptional sharpness and color accuracy.

Equipped with a fixed 50mm f/2.8 lens, the DP3 Quattro is designed for general-purpose photography with a natural field of view and shallow depth of field capability.

The camera features an APS-C sized sensor, larger than typical compact cameras, enhancing low-light performance and dynamic range.

It includes a 3-inch LCD display for image review and menu navigation, although it lacks a built-in viewfinder.

The DP3 Quattro records images in RAW and JPEG formats and supports USB 3.0 for fast data transfer.
