Sigma SD14
No one makes a digital SLR like Sigma does. Ever since the company started making them, it has eschewed the CMOS and CCD sensors employed by most manufacturers and opted for three-layer sensors made by a company called Foveon. In Sigma's newest model, ...
Sigma and Foveon fans, who have been waiting eagerly for this camera, might be interested in the SD14, but consumers can easily find more bang for their buck from other SLRs on the market.

Sigma SD14
Sigma and Foveon fans, who have been waiting eagerly for this camera, might be interested in the SD14, but consumers can easily find more bang for their buck from other SLRs on the market.
Removable IR-cut filter lets you use the SD14 for infrared photography and acts as a dust shield for the sensor during normal photography.
Slow performance overall ; overly noisy images at ISO 800 and ISO 1600 ; poor control scheme ; inelegant design and ergonomics

Excellent in quality, color, and overall ease of use. Able to switch to infrared in a matter of seconds. No other dslr can do that. This camera takes pictures that will take your breath away. It gives you back the joy of photography.
Not for people who just want a point and shoot camera. Raw conversion is slower than I would like because you have to use Sigma photo pro software. Shoots best only in raw. The biggest con is reviewers who will not review this camera fairly.
"Isn't image quality the most important criteria?"
Ok, so the SD14 lacks in many feature areas. ...
Recently bought the SD14. Bottom line: The RAW images(after adjustment in Sigma Photo Pro software) out of the SD14 beat anything RAW from Nikon hands down. I can't state this any more plainly. It is no contest.
1. Clunky body.
