The Sigma sd Quattro H also includes a 'DC Crop Mode' which is automatically enabled when a Sigma DC (APS-C) lens is attached (you can also enable it manually), and coverage in the electronic viewfinder and LCD is cropped to match. And if you're willing to shoot at the reduced 'Low' resolution of about 6.3 megapixels, the claimed burst performance increases to 16 images at 6.2 frames per second.

This allows the sd Quattro H to capture 8 X3F RAW frames in a burst at up to 4.4 frames per second according to the company.

The Sigma sd Quattro H utilizes DDR3 DRAM for buffer memory, with about twice the capacity as found in the dp Quattro series of cameras. Due to the sensor's design, the camera does not need to include a detail-robbing optical low-pass filter. The top layer captures both detail and blue channel information whereas the bottom two layers capture red and green channel information. Here at IR, we won't go so far as to say it's equivalent to a 51-megapixel Bayer senor, but it certainly should be better than a conventional 25.6-megapixel sensor, at least at low ISOs - especially when it comes to color resolution. The top layer is 25.6 megapixels and an additional pair of 6.4-megapixel layers below combine to produce images that are equivalent to those that a 51-megapixel Bayer-pattern sensor camera would produce according to Sigma. Like the sd Quattro, the Sigma sd Quattro H uses a Foveon X3 Quattro sensor, which features an asymmetrical layered design. The biggest differentiation between the Sigma sd Quattro and the sd Quattro H is the latter's 26.6 x 17.9mm APS-H sized sensor, providing a crop-factor of about 1.3x instead of the 23.5 x 15.5mm APS-C version's 1.5x crop factor. The EVF also includes automatic switching between itself and the display. The back of the Sigma sd Quattro H includes a 3-inch LCD, separate status LCD, 2.36M-dot LCD EVF, and a wide array of controls. There is a toggle switch next to the viewfinder to switch between the viewfinder or display, but there is also an auto mode that utilizes a sensor to automatically switch between the viewfinder and display depending on your usage. The electronic viewfinder has 0.96x magnification (about 0.74x in 35mm format), approximately 100% coverage, 21mm eyepoint and -4 to +2 diopter adjustment. Further, the dual monitors utilize a design that aims to minimize reflections, even in bright conditions. In lieu of a top display and in addition to the primary 3-inch display on the back of the camera, there is also a sub-monitor along the right side that displays important shooting information such as remaining shots, shutter speed, aperture value, ISO, and more.

This striking looking camera has a 3-inch 1.62M-dot LCD monitor (which does not offer touchscreen or tilting capabilities) and a 2.36M-dot LCD electronic viewfinder. The sd Quattro H proves that Sigma is comfortable with utilizing camera designs that don't align with its contemporaries. Featuring the same distinct design as the Sigma sd Quattro, the sd Quattro H has magnesium alloy construction and is both splash- and dust-proof.
