I've been really struggling with the decision of what newer camera to buy. I had a bad experience with Sony and Nikon Z, because I am so spoiled by the colors and contrast of my CCD DSLR collection — especially the Pentax 645D — and my Sigma fp.

I think it's kind of perfect. I have it in combination with a stick-on grip on the front, and it's very comfortable. You can look through my posts on SigmaFP to see what I mean by stick-on.
