It’s a cool trick of this already unconventional, Foveon-sensor based camera.”

PopPhoto - 4/20/2007 - has a hands-on of the 14.1 megapixel Sigma SD14 DSLR and they write - “Neat tricks: The three-color histogram plays back with all three colors graphed simultaneously on the display. And Jack discovered that the IR-cutoff filter pops out easily, which will allow for infrared photography on the fly. (Jack promises to bring in his IR filters and try the SD14 out for some IR shooting.)”

PhotoReview - 3/29/2007 - has reviewed the 14.1 megapixel Sigma SD14 DSLR and they write - “Sigma’s SD14 is an interesting camera that is most likely to appeal to photographers who prefer to use manual controls and shoot raw files. It will also suit photographers who want rich, eye-popping colours, subtle pastels and delicate tonal nuances - but they’ll need to work hard to obtain the best results. The supplied Sigma Photo Pro 3.0 software is a good starting point for processing X3F raw files but we suspect most users will opt for a third-party application that offers a wider range of adjustments plus useful functions like cropping and straightening.”

PopPhoto - 11/27/2006 - has a new hands on review of the 14.1 megapixel Sigma SD14 DSLR and they write - “One of our key criticisms of the SD9 and SD10 was that neither captured JPEG files. Instead, all images were saved in RAW format and had to be postprocessed (often taking 20–30 seconds each) on a computer with Sigma’s Photo Pro 3.0 software (included). That concern is now gone, since the SD14 captures either JPEGs or RAW files.”
