Sigma SD14
$1,200.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Color reproduction is astonishing - unit outperforms higher-priced models from Canon and Olympus, even those with larger megapixel capabilities. Low-light performance is excellent - unit lacks the blotchy, "camouflage"-esque nature of its counterparts, including the SD10. Versatile memory card support is an excellent feature - camera is compatible with 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16GB SD cards.
The Cons:Not very compatible with third-party lenses - not recommended for users with a pre-existing lens collection or a desire to purchase lenses from Canon or Olympus.
