2002: Yesterday we had an exclusive hands-on with Sigma's SD9. As
we all know the SD9 will be the first digital camera to utilize Foveon's
new X3 sensor technology. The SD9 digital SLR is fitted with a 3.54 x
3 million pixel X3 sensor which produces a 2268 x 1512 x 3 image (captures
RAW in-camera). The SD9 has a Sigma lens mount (which may well be it's
Achilles heel) and a host of manual controls which you'd expect of a D-SLR
at this level. The SD9 is set to retail for US$3,000. UPDATE:
Added image of dust protection filter.
