Quick review

The good
Low ISO image quality, Colour rendition, Ease of use, RAW image quality
The bad
Performance, Hi-ISO image quality, Hi-ISO colour skew, Chunky design, Misleading resolution, AF foibles, JPEG compression/interpolation issues, Lack of sharpness in “SuperHi” (interpolated) resolution mode
Verdict
Sigma’s update of the SD10 is this, the SD14 equipped with Foveon’s X3 sensor that provides photo detectors buried within a silicone sensor to capture red, green and blue light at each pixel location. But performance problems, cost and limited features mar the new model
