Sigma has introduced the BF, a novel 24.6-megapixel full-frame, mirrorless camera that comes with a built-in SSD instead of a CFexpress or SD card slot. Recognized for producing lenses and unconventional cameras, Sigma’s design and storage innovation with the BF perfectly align with the company’s reputation.
Crafted from a single block of aluminum, the Sigma BF boasts mostly flat, angular edges that may not seem ergonomically designed for human hands, except for a thumb rest on the back. This minimalist approach extends throughout the camera, evident in the absence of text on the camera body and the haptic buttons. The back of the BF features a high-resolution display, a pill-shaped status monitor for highlighting settings, a dial for navigating menus, an option button, a power button, and a playback button. The top of the camera is even simpler, featuring only two microphones and a shutter button.
The BF is compatible with L-mount lenses and, in addition to capturing photos, its 35mm full-frame sensor can record 6K videos, supporting features like HEVC encoding and recording at up to 120 frames per second. The built-in 230GB SSD in the BF is capable of storing over 14,000 JPEG files, 4,300 uncompressed RAW images, or 2.5 hours of video at the highest quality setting. Similar to many modern mirrorless cameras, the BF offers various color modes to enhance the look of your photos, including standard, rich, and specific color settings like powder blue, forest green, and sunset red.
Although the concept of the Sigma BF sounds intriguing, especially for those interested in a camera with a distinctive design, it comes at a price. According to PetaPixel, the Sigma BF will be available as a body-only option for $1,999 in April 2025, offered in either black or silver.
