Buy the Sigma BF full-frame mirrorless camera at SDP.io/BF for $2,000
Tony & Chelsea Northrup review the new Sigma BF, a form-over-function BEAUTIFUL full-frame mirrorless L-mount camera with 24 megapixels, 8 FPS and 6K/30 video!
The striking design and compact size are the main reasons to buy it - it's milled from a single block of aluminum. Sigma has rethought everything a camera is and included only the features you really need. The minimalism facilitates a focus on the fundamentals of photography, freeing the photographer from the burden of hundreds of camera settings.
Overall, it works great, with some weaknesses to be aware of. It probably won't be the ONLY camera for any serious photographer; serious photographers probably need a tilty screen and a hot shoe... but it can be the perfect SECOND camera!
