The unique selling point of the Japanese manufacturer Sigma is the innovative Foveon X3 Quattro direct image sensor. The unusual idea here is that three sensor elements are mounted on top of each other. This allows each individual pixel to record all colors and color nuances. With practically all other sensors, each pixel can only record one of the three main colors, i.e. either red, green or yellow. Thanks to the technology of stacking sensor elements, the Foveon X3 direct image sensor clearly stands out from other sensors in terms of the image quality achieved. The high image sharpness, the true-to-life, realistic colors and the very low image noise inspire ambitious amateur photographers and professionals alike. Compared to its predecessor, the resolution of the Foveon X3 Quattro direct image sensor has been increased by a further 30 %. This corresponds to the equivalent of an incredible 39 megapixels! To process the extensive and complex image data, Sigma has equipped the Quattro series digital cameras with fast, powerful processors. These are specially optimized for processing the data supplied by the Foveon X3 Quattro.
