Editorial Review:
Digital photos have never looked quite as good as those taken on film. Until now. Only the SIGMA SD10 digital single-lens reflex camera makes this major breakthrough. The FOVEON X3 direct image sensor with 10.2 million pixels efficiently reproduces color more accurately, and offers sharper resolution, pixel for pixel, than any conventional CCD or CMOS image sensor. So you can capture more of your vision in a truer light. Go ahead. Get more creative. The SIGMA SD10 puts the advantage of higher technology right in your hands.

THE SD 10 excellent muti purpose /Infared Camera Great Camera with kit lenses that far surpass Nikon Kit lenses. The Foveon censor should not be compared to standard CMOS ccd's This is a whole new way to get quality Photos. The camera shoots in raw but can also be saved using SIGMA PRO at double the file size .You would have to buy genuine fractals software to accomplish what you get out of the box.
Another huge plus for me is the several hundred dollars I saved not converting my Nikon digital to a dedicated infared camera. Because with the sd10... more info
Excellent camera. Megapixels explained. Typical digital cameras have what is called a Bayer sensor. The Sigma has a Foveon sensor. Here is an explanation that may help. With my Sigma SD10 I am able to print crystal clear 11 x 14 prints..can't do that with a 3 mega pixel camera. That is what some want to say the SD10 is because of the 3 layered Foveon Sensor! The pictures and color clarity of the prints are gorgeous. EXPLANATION: 8mps (Bayer) sensors only have 2m Red and 2m Blue sensors, (and even only 4m Green).
Compared to 4.5... more info
Pro Camera A few things about this camera: I have been using it in pro work for almost two years, and it is just that, a pro camera. It is bare bones. No toys that you will find on many larger names. I, personaly, don't miss those toys (maybe I would like a small popup fill flash every now and then...) so long as you don't mind or are already hauling a full bag of toys along with you. I have the TTL flash made for the camera by Sigma, and its 'ok' with some post editing. Good reach and power, but will sometimes not... more info
