Sigma BF: New a stripped back mirrorless camera unveiled
Sigma BF is an all-new mirrorless camera that has been announced, this time by Japanese company Sigma.
The photography brand has officially unveiled the minimalist new offering which they describe as being an “everyday system camera for creative minds” on social media.
It won’t be launched until April 2025 though, with pre-orders already open with the simplistic style being priced at $1,999.
The Sigma BF is a new approach for the brand, with a completely different user interface. “The user interface has a completely new information structure compared to conventional digital cameras, with the main shooting-related settings stored on the live view screen, secondary settings in the optional menu, and management functions and detailed settings in the system menu.”
Sigma BF described as being ‘radically simple’All of the controls have been designed to be more simpler than ever before too, with these being integrated into just three buttons – one dial, the shutter release, and the power button.
It’s also said to be the “first mirrorless camera to incorporate haptics into its Dial, Center button, Option button, and Playback button, resulting in minimal physical wear.”
According to the brand, it has another ‘first’ too as it’s described as being “the first camera in history to feature a true unibody, which boasts unprecedented rigidity. Each camera is carved from a single, solid block of aluminum ingot over the course of seven hours.”
It has an L-Mount lens which allows for a variety of interchangeable lenses to be used, including those from the company but also other L-Mount Alliance partners.
While it looks like everything has been stripped back in the design, the same can’t be said for the features. The BF has 230GB of internal memory which means it’s capable of storing more than 14,000 JPEG files, 4,300 uncompressed RAW images or 2.5 hours of video if on the highest-quality setting.
It does still have room for a USB-C port too which is needed for charging and data transfer. As for the video elements, it supports 6K and L-Log recording, “enabling video production that takes advantage of the wide dynamic range of a full-frame sensor.”
The Sigma BF will be available in two colors only, black and silver.
