Sigma SD14 digital SLR camera - Review
The Sigma SD14 is a fast and responsive digital SLR camera with a rugged build and intuitive uncluttered control layout.
Acclaimed third-party lens and accessory manufacturer Sigma has bravely – but hitherto not totally successfully – attempted to cut out the middleman and launch its own series of digital SLRs, boasting a unique Foveon sensor with a three-layered pixel configuration – one layer each for red, green and blue light.
Sigma claims that while conventional CCD or CMOS sensors are good at detecting the intensity of light, they miss a lot of colour information.
The Sigma SD14 - Sigma's third attempt at a digital SLR - now comes with a Foveon X3 chip and according to Sigma delivers results equivalent to a 14Mp model.
Image quality is, of course, about more than pixels. The Sigma SD14 then has other features including a removable dust protector, light sensitivity ranging from ISO100 to ISO1600 and the ability to shoot common Jpeg as well as best-quality RAW files.
