Epinions Will give any Nikon or Canon a run for their money

by  ucsbgaucho,  May 17, 2005
Pros: Image quality, resolution, sharpness, price of camera, lens selection, X3F technology, battery life
Cons: Lowlight noise, anything other than iso 100 isn't great, but that's it
The Bottom Line: If you're looking to get into the professional ranks but can't afford the top-of-the-line, go with Sigma
Review: I've had the SD9 for almost 2 years now, and I am completely happy with my choice, considering the cameras this one compares with in terms of image quality are at least 3-4 times as expensive. Don't be fooled by those who think if you aren't using Canon ...

Epinions Best Value in Digital SLR's

by  edwinmharris,  Jul 25, 2005
Pros: unmatched image quality, rich color, images scale well for poster output
Cons: noise high at ISO 400, AF too slow for sports, no built in flash
The Bottom Line: Best Enthusiast Value.
Review: The Sigma SD9 when used properly, produces the most colorful and three dimensional pictures I've seen in a camera under $4,000. Getting the best pictures requires skill with exposure and a familiarity with the camera, but many exposure errors can be ...

Epinions Foveon Technology and the SD9

by  antonio777,  Dec 5, 2003
Pros: 10.2 Megapixel resolution, natural aesthetic to the images, Excellent build quality, AC adapter for indoors
Cons: Not for low-light, iso 200/400 are noisy, Requires two sets of batteries
The Bottom Line: Higher resolution than other 6Mpixel DSLR's. Very solid construction. However...noisy long exposures, skin tones that require color desaturation and limited iso versatility make it questionable.
Review: The Sigma SD9 is a specialty item for those seeking the highest quality images who are willing to work with limitations. The Foveon sensor of the Sigma SD9 offers a resolution higher than other 6Megapixel DSLR's but the camera suffers from lack of ...

Review: The sigma camera has the distinction of being the only digital camera that is currently using the Foveon X3 Pro 10M chip. The technology delivers sharper images than most digital cameras. Moreover you can make prints as large as a1 from the sd9 ...

Pros: Images with fantastic detail
