THE SIGMA SD14 DIGITAL SINGLE LENS REFLEX CAMERA The SIGMA SD14 Unique. Groundbreaking. And that’s just the three-layer, full-color image sensor. This digital camera is about to set a whole new standard for image quality.
To help photographers in their eternal quest for the perfect picture, Sigma has given the world more than a few photographic products. These include lenses — the element most essential to photographic expression — and film SLR cameras. Sigma knows about the human impulse to explore light, and the human eye’s delicate perception of color. We focus on optical systems, because we see them as the heart and soul of photography.

Want to capture the world’s true colors? It’s a breakthrough. It’s unique. It’s an image sensor with all the amazing color sensitivity of film. The conventional image sensors used in almost all digital SLR cameras so far, can only detect light intensity: they miss a lot of color information. Using a color filter, they fill in the gaps in their color perception by means of complex computations, interpolating colors that aren't really there, and artificially synthesizing hypothetical hues.
Want to get the most out of your RAW data? Pure RAW data, with its wide dynamic range, holds the maximum potential in terms of image quality. The image data generated by the unique and ground-breaking Foveon X3® direct image sensor includes a full complement of color data, captured and recorded directly by three separate layers of pixels, sensitive to red, green and blue light respectively. To make the most of the superb richness and purity of this data, Sigma recommends recording in the RAW data format.

Want to have complete control over the finished image? Do you like to experiment with finishing? The SD14 gives you access to the source. It’s that moment. Full of anticipation, you’re opening a RAW image file shot with your SD14. At first, the image on your computer screen may look a little crude, a little disappointing. Relax: our exclusive software, Sigma Photo Pro 3.0, will soon whip it into shape.
Want something more than convenience from a camera? We set out to design a camera that sets you free to just take photographs the way you want. A camera that lets you focus on getting the shot. That’s what the SD14 is designed to be. We eliminated cumbersome operations and unnecessary extra functions, replacing them with an intuitive user interface, and rigorously honing the camera's basic performance until it was capable of handling the most difficult conditions.
