Certainly there is a widespread perception that Sigma + crop sensor does not
equal a $10k camera. Recalling there were those who were certain that the
DMR's image quality would be hopelessly outdated by the time it reached the
market, and given that my perception is based on Bayer-pattern sensors and an
obsession with Leica's APO lenses, I'm willing to wait and see how the camera
works and what kind of image quality it produces before forming an opinion.
