Sigma SD14 Reviews: Digital SLR Camera

+ Larger Screen Size is excellent. Having just the one Dedicated battery is excellent and it really does last a long time.

- Although The SD14 does have more Mega pixels, it is no where near as good or as well made a camera as the SD9, in my Humble opinion.

+ The camera takes extremely sharp and detailed pictures,it is also easy to operate.
It comes with a very good if slow raw editing program that only lacks a dust removal tool I hope this will be added to the spp3-1.
The shutter is very smooth ,I do not see a reason to complicate the camera by adding in camera j peg as this can easily be done using software and to get the best from the camera you should shoot in raw

- The camera should have had a removable as per sd10,also the eye piece could have protruded further.

+ Takes great pictures....when you get it right

- Some knowledge of digital photography required

+ Easy to use, well built, large files, sync socket built into camera body

- VERY POOR colour re-production, splodgey shapes appear in solid colours even on finest quality and RAW.
This is why I had to return the camera and why I would never reccommend it to a friend, good price, large files, all ruiend by poor quality images.

+ Fantastic image quality if you are prepared to persevere with understanding the camera and the RAW developer supplied with it.

- Ergonomics are probably not as sophisticated as those from other manufacturers.

+ Exceptional build quality,colour & sharpness excellent,unfussed straightforward controls-the nearest a digital SLR comes to a 1970's film SLR [technology not overdone].

- Noise issue above ISO 400.

+ Image and simplicity of operation.

- Battery life and a few teething problems. These will be resolved shortly though. I knew this camera was very basic and purchased it for the image quality so I've marked it down on features for other peoples benefit. It's not a point and shoot camera. It's an enthusiasts camera.

+ Excellent picture quality.Easy to use. Good battery life. Great value for money. This camera fits beautifully in the hand and feels strong and sturdy.

- You need to take care when inserting flash card as it's easy to fit it the wrong way about thus making it difficult to remove again.

+ Image quality, results are consistently amazing.
Sturdy build quality, you know you're holding it and it doesn't feel like it's going to break any time soon!
Overall a great camera.

- Sigma SA lens mount, sadly it makes it a little difficult to get cut price lenses to fit the SD14 like you can for other makes.
Now RAW+JPEG, you have to pick one or the other.
