All the best SLR reviews - in one place!
The Sigma SD14 has a new body design that is smaller than its predecessors, the SD10 and SD9. Like the previous models, it uses a Foveon X3 direct image sensor. It has a Sigma SA lens mount, which means you can use the whole range of Sigma’s rather awesome lenses - all at a much lower price than Canon or Nikon’s lenses, but at roughly the same quality.
The SD14 may not be for everybody, but if you can live with its flaws, you might be able to get a proper bargain…

In our lab tests, the Sigma SD14s performance was not impressive, especially considering its price.
Finalist, 2007 Camera of the Year. Compared to the SD10, there are several other performance enhancements that will appeal to pros and enthusiasts.
In terms of image noise, sharpness and general ease of use, it is a little lacking.
Designed for the experienced photographer, the SD14 has superb image quality and colour fidelity when used in its intended RAW format.
Unlike other DSLRs, which use the Bayer pattern sensor technology, “the Sigma D14 uses Foveon X3, which stacks them to eliminate any problems produced by having a lateral shift between color sensors.
The SD14 Digital SLR camera features four JPEG recording modes, a large and bright pentaprism viewfinder with 98% coverage, a built-in flash with a Guide Number of 11, 5-point AF system, a large 2.5” 150,000 pixel resolution LCD monitor as well as a new user friendly design.
As the model number would suggest, capture resolution is up from 10 to 14 megapixels, but there’s a lot more to the SD14 than a simple boost in image resolution.
Focus locks on a nearby object with a quiet beep and I press the shutter. Now if you have ever used the SD9/10 cameras, you, as I was, would be expecting a noisy clacking sound as the shutter operated.
