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
