I'm considering the purchase of a Sigma DP0 Quattro for landscape photography. I know that the camera is, at best, quirky to work with, but the images I've seen online are spectacular. Everyone says the in-camera j-pegs are crappy, and that post-processing the X3F raw file is time-consuming and/or difficult. The Sigma SPP software is notoriously and painfully slow, so it seems, and it sometimes crashes. When you use Adobe's file conversion to convert to DNG, data is often lost, and images are sometimes distorted. I'd like to hear about actual experiences of UHH folks. What is your post-processing routine?

The X3F raw file is proprietary to the Foveon 3 layer sensor in the Sigmas. Their software is the best way to process them by far, but it is slow to process. If you want the most from that sensor, that is your choice. Converting the files to DNG is almost worse than shooting in JPG.
