The breakthrough Sigma SD9 camera features the FOVEON® X3TM image sensor which is the world's first image-sensor that features three layers of photo detectors. The layers are embedded in silicon to take advantage of the fact that red, green and blue light penetrate silicon to different depths allowing full-color to be measured at every pixel. The layers are positioned to take advantage of the fact that silicon absorbs different colors of light at different depths, so one layer records red, another layer records green and the other layer records blue, This means that for every pixel on a FOVEON® X3TM image sensor, there's actually a stack of three photo detectors, forming the first and only full-color capture system.

The Sigma DP1x Digital Camera is a compact digital camera with a secret weapon--a unique (among compact cameras) 14.06 megapixel Foveon X3 20.7 x 13.8mm direct image sensor that's 8 times the size of a sensor in a typical compact digital camera. Working in tandem with Sigma's unique True II image processing engine and a 16.6mm (28mm equivalent) f/4 lens, this super-sized sensor in a compact camera provides the same superb image quality as found in the Sigma SD14 professional SLR. With the DP1x, it is possible to record images in RAW or JPEG format in four resolution modes. Furthermore, it offers five exposure modes and three metering modes as well as being equipped with a built-in flash, hot shoe, and 2.5" TFT color LCD monitor.  Less

Cons Not for low-light, iso 200/400 are noisy, Requires two sets of batteries
Recommended it? Yes

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 versatility. The only useable iso speed is iso100... Read full review »

Best Value in Digital SLR's

byedwinmharris Jul 25, 2005
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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
Recommended it? Yes

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 corrected with the free bundled software. The... Read full review »
