The 14-megapixel Sigma SD14 digital SLR camera is a standout in the digital SLR market. The Foveon X3 direct-image sensor can reproduce high definition images by capturing all primary RGB colors at each pixel using three silicon-embedded layers of photo detectors. Most image sensors use a single layer of pixels that captures only one color of light per pixel.
The SD14 digital SLR features four JPEG recording modes, from Low quality for web images to Super High quality for 11.6 x 16.5 inch prints. The pictures are then displayed on a 2.5-inch, 150,000-pixel resolution LCD monitor. The top LCD panel tells the photographer information such as resolution setting, metering mode, battery status, and more. It also incorporates an orange backlight for use in low light or dark conditions.
The SD14′s autofocus sensor has 5 focusing points (center, left, right, up, and down) which allows for precise focusing. Selecting the autofocus point can be done automatically or manually by the photographer. To compliment the precise focus, the mirror lock-up mechanism raises the mirror, preventing vibration when the shutter is released. It also boasts a continuous shooting speed of 3 frames per second in super high quality.
Additional features of the Sigma SD14 include a dust protector that prevents dust from entering and adhering to the image sensor, built-in flash with an angle of coverage of 17mm and a guide number of 11, Sigma Photo Pro 3.0 software for RAW image conversion, and much more.
The Sigma SD14 14MP digital SLR camera comes with a Lithium-ion power battery, a battery charger, a USB cable, a video cable, a neck strap, an eye cap, a body cap, an eyepiece cap, SIGMA Photo Pro 3.0 CD-rom, and the SD14 instruction manual.
