Sigma SD14 Review

“The price of the Sigma is the problem. It is more expensive than the Nikon D200 and the Canon 30D. Happy Sigma owners argue that the image quality from the Foveon sensor is so superior to the conventional CCD/CMOS that the price is justified. We did a crude subjective comparison with a Nikon D80 (10 megapixels) and concluded that the Sigma has better edge definition without any nasty sharpening artefacts and therefore has more apparent resolved detail. The Nikon colour was more accurate, although inclining to cold. The Sigma was warm, which is an attractive distortion, but a distortion nonetheless. We shot in RAW mode so it was easy to adjust the colour balance before opening in Photoshop. The Sigma has better apparent dynamic range. While the differences between the cameras are small they can be seen.”

Sigma SD14 Review

ePhotozine has a review of the Sigma SD14 and writes, “It is not the fastest camera out there but for many forms of photography speed is not essential. What the SD14 does have, apart from the advances in handling over its predecessors, is superb image quality and colour fidelity when used in its intended RAW format. Having taken away all of the over-sophisticated beginner modes has freed the camera up to take images in a simple and uncluttered way but you need to spend some time in post processing to get the best images.”
