Sigma today announced her BF Mirrorless camera, with a “purposefully minimal” design that cuts all the things that prevent distracted, limit or creativity. ” The “radical” simplicity is clear that it is watching – it has only five buttons, including power and shutter release, and a dial.
The biggest concession for minimalism, however, may be a shortage of BF. It is not the first camera to leave a visible or mechanical shutter, but it is one of the only modern cameras we have seen without a slot for any type of storage card, it is SD, CFXPress or something else foreigner. Instead the camera will only record your 230GB internal memory, which you can access through the 10GBPS USB-C port very fast-the only port on the camp, by the way.
It almost goes without saying that this is a very unusual decision. There are obvious advantages for cameras with internal storage – most photographers have only experienced a picture to feel that they have left their SD cards at home. So it is not surprising that some other photographer-centric cameras, such as Leica M11 and Ricoh GR III, are this. However, its inclusion (About) Never comes at the cost of ability to use external storage.

BF is undeniably small. Perhaps there was no place for the card slot? Picture: Sigma |
The company has not said much about why it decided to stop a card slot on BF, although we have reached for comments. An argument is to be given that it helps to achieve the company’s ultra-synaphetic vision; With BF, you do not have to worry about remembering your SD card or ensuring that it is faster enough to record 6K videos. And while SD card slots are small, it is possible that the camera has become easier to make as compact except someone. Candle, it gives people something to talk about creating additional discussion around a major launch. 24MP full-frame cameras filled with cameras About $ 2,000This is just another thing that separates BF.
There are some downside, however, beyond just the lack of flexibility. If you want to remove images on your computer, but do not have a USB-C lead, you will be out of luck. If you are planning a huge shooting session, which will generate more than 14,000 JPEGS, over 4300 unplaced DNG RAWS or 2.5 hours of videos, then Sigma says that is good for internal storage. You do not even have the option to shoot unnecessarily, such as you can do with cameras that have internal storage and a card slot or dual card slot.
We want to hear what you think, though. Internal storage is sufficient, or lack of card slots is high Beautiful foolishSound off in the comments below.
