Sadly, Sigma's cameras leave much to be desired, and the Foveon technology is still riddled with problems like unacceptable noise in the blue channel. In a controlled environment like a portrait studio you can get some stunning results, but they're just not all-purpose SLR cameras. Other problems: the body technology lags years behind the competition (electronics, weight, battery life, focusing speed, automation...) and the proprietary mount severely limits the lens choices. And the mandatory raw format is not supported by Apple's Aperture.

Aperture update version 1.5.1 actually supports RAW format.
