The Sigma BF Mirrorless Camera (Silver) is currently on sale at B&H for $1,999, down from its regular price of $2,199. This limited‑time offer brings a $200 savings on Sigma’s compact full‑frame model, which features a 24.6MP BSI CMOS sensor, hybrid autofocus, and 6K video recording. The BF stands out for its simplified control layout and a unibody aluminum build, using a touchscreen interface with only three physical buttons for a minimal, streamlined shooting experience. Let’s take a look.
Sigma has been active on several fronts lately, not only releasing new products like the AF CINE LINE 28–105mm T3 lens introduced last month, but also branching into unexpected territory with the launch of a new agricultural subsidiary. The BF itself was announced last year as a full-frame camera with a pared-back, minimalist, touchscreen‑driven interface and an aluminum body, with most physical controls reduced to just a few essential buttons.
The camera has a single‑piece, aluminum “unibody” with just three main physical controls: a dial, shutter button, and power switch. A pressure‑sensitive rear pad and a small status display complement the touchscreen, which handles exposure settings and most menu navigation.
At its core is a 24.6MP full‑frame BSI CMOS sensor with a native ISO range of 100–102400. The BF records 14‑bit DNG RAW, shoots up to 8 fps, and uses a hybrid phase/contrast AF system for both stills and video work.
Video options include 6K up to 30 fps and Full HD at 120 fps with electronic image stabilization and L‑Log. The camera also includes 230GB of internal storage, which can accommodate extended recording without external media. USB‑C connectivity enables fast transfers and webcam use.
The Sigma BF Mirrorless Camera (Silver) is now available at B&H for $1,999, representing a $200 discount off its regular $2,199 price. For more information on the camera, please visit the Sigma website.
What do you think about Sigma’s move toward a more minimal, touchscreen‑driven camera design? At this price point, would you consider the BF for video work, or does it feel better suited to stills? Let us know in the comments below!

A camera was put in my hands at 16, and I’ve been taking photographs ever since. Before moving to Vienna, I worked as a photographer on film sets, telling stories as they unfolded behind the scenes. Since then, I’ve focused on immersive theater, both as a photographer and an actor. I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval ensemble, documenting the energy and atmosphere of their performances. I’m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest. I’ll take on any project with a story to tell.
