As an authorized SIGMA dealer working closely with video creators for years, I'm thrilled to share news about the groundbreaking SIGMA BF camera. This new addition to the SIGMA lineup represents a significant evolution in mirrorless technology that many of our professional customers have been waiting for.
A Video Powerhouse in a Compact Unibody Design
What immediately stands out about the BF is its true unibody construction - the first of its kind in camera history. Each camera is meticulously carved from a solid block of aluminum ingot over seven hours, creating unprecedented rigidity while maintaining a comfortable weight that balances perfectly with attached lenses.
The BF delivers impressive video capabilities with 6K recording and L-Log support, allowing video creators to take full advantage of the wide dynamic range offered by its full-frame sensor. The approximately 24-megapixel full-frame sensor provides high-definition expression that brings your creative vision to life.
Revolutionary Hybrid AF Technology
From our early testing, the hybrid autofocus system combining phase detection and contrast detection is impressive for video work. SIGMA has developed state-of-the-art algorithms that capture subjects accurately and reliably. Beyond just people, the subject detection mode can now identify dogs and cats - perfect for pet-focused content creators.
Sigma bf camera Features & Highlights:
Internal Storage for Uninterrupted Shooting
A standout feature for video professionals is the generous 230GB of internal storage, capable of recording up to 2.5 hours of video at the highest quality settings. This eliminates concerns about memory card swapping during critical shoots. The USB-C port offers fast charging and data transfer speeds for efficient workflow management.
L-Mount Versatility for Video Creators
As a dealer stocking the full range of L-Mount options, I'm particularly excited about how the BF integrates into existing lens ecosystems. The L-Mount Alliance means video creators can use not only SIGMA's excellent glass but also compatible lenses from other L-Mount Alliance partners.
Enhanced Operational Design with Haptic Innovation
The BF introduces a completely re-imagined user interface with pressure-sensitive haptic buttons and dial - a first for mirrorless cameras. With just three buttons, one dial, the shutter release, and power button, the camera maintains minimal controls while offering intuitive operation. The haptic technology ensures buttons are always accurate and comfortable to press with minimal physical wear. The clean live view screen displays only essential information (or none at all if preferred), allowing videographers to focus entirely on composition. All shooting settings are easily accessible with the touch of a finger.
Creative Color Options
For content creators looking to establish a distinctive visual style, the BF offers 13 different color modes ranging from unique options like Teal and Orange, Powder Blue, and Warm Gold to more versatile options like Rich and Calm.
