What’s not to love about the new BF camera by Sigma? With a strikingly sleek aesthetic, a solid aluminum build, and a minimalist design, it’s as durable as it is intuitive.

When I’m out with my children, I need a camera that feels like an extension of myself. I want it to feel like second nature, effortlessly there for every moment. The BF camera is just that and more. From playful afternoons at the arcade with my son to breezy moments at the beach with my daughter, this beautiful, stylish camera lets me stay present and focus on what matters most.

If I had to pick just two words to describe the BF camera it would be sophisticated and effortless. The sleek, modern design is visually appealing. With looks this good, it could double as modern home decor. This camera’s minimalist design ensures it remains effortlessly user-friendly. A camera doesn’t have to be complicated, and Sigma ensures that with a simple yet stylish aesthetic.

Compact and lightweight, the body is suited for life on the go, making it an ideal everyday companion. Though lightweight, the camera boasts a sturdy construction and solid build which is especially favorable for a photographer like me who’s often out chasing adventures with my kids in tow.

One of my favorite features is that there are no memory card slots. The seamless, internal storage design once again makes everything feel effortless. With no cards to manage, it truly keeps things simple and worry-free.

And as someone who rarely ever uses a viewfinder, I also appreciate its omission allowing for a more compact, sleek camera design and modern LCD screen. As a photographer specifically specializing in children’s portraiture, I’ve always found that composing through the LCD screen gives me a clearer sense of my frame. Not to mention, helping me capture key moments without missing a beat.

The camera’s continuous capture rate is swift at 8 frames per second. I occasionally found it too quick, in fact, and switched to single capture for more precise control. When my children were on the move, continuous capture was indispensable for freezing those fast-paced, fleeting moments. The autofocus accuracy in low-light conditions, particularly when my son was darting around the arcade, was nothing short of impressive.

The Sigma BF also camera features automatic face and eye detection for both people and pets, enabling seamless subject tracking. What’s more, the function is active by default, further streamlining the friendly user experience.

For more precise control, I could switch to single point focus whether in single or continuous autofocus modes. While the autofocusing features of this camera are more curated, they’re ideal and efficient for anyone on the go, allowing for more time to stay immersed in the moment rather than fumbling with countless focus settings.

Another feature I genuinely love is the touch screen focusing. It’s something I’ve frequently used in the past, so I was pleased to see it thoughtfully included in this camera’s design.

Last but certainly not least, the image quality is outstanding. Given the Sigma BF camera’s minimalist design, I was thrilled by how sharp and detailed the photos turned out. Even in low light conditions, the clarity and definition held up beautifully. I was also really drawn to the camera’s film-like color rendering. It brings a nostalgic, cinematic feel to images that’s intentional and beautiful.

Sigma unveiled nine updated prime lenses that color-match the sleek BF camera to maintain a cohesive look. My go-to portrait lens is the 50mm F2 DG | Contemporary, and I was consistently impressed by its focusing performance in a range of challenging lighting conditions, from low light to backlight, while my children were constantly on the go. The bokeh was smooth and round, adding to the overall sense of magic I was able to capture. From icy mornings in our yard to playful adventures at the arcade, the bokeh quality enhances the overall mood and atmosphere of my images.

Though its minimal design is far from ordinary, this camera is perfectly suited for everyday moments. Its thoughtful design and sleek aesthetic make it ideal for those who value both form and function. It feels like the perfect travel companion, equally at home when you’re doing everything or nothing at all. There’s beauty in keeping things simple, and Sigma makes that possible with the BF camera, letting you stay immersed in the moment rather than gadgets and settings.
