OK - so this means that the file you uploaded, and lots of people have tested was not corrupt? Is that so?
--Mike, Not gonna be a great help 'cause I don't own an SD1, but I did remember one of the SD1 raw files I downloaded for "examination" had a similar problem.
3 files in a folder, the other 2 seem to be fine, but this one goes wacko with the ghost of one of the other images "ghosted" in the background.
The second example is with the file in a separate folder, and it's still wacko, but doesn't have the "ghosting" of another image.
Based on this I'd say the file/files is/are corrupt. I have about 10 other SD1 files in another folder and they all behave properly.
Perhaps the card has an anomalythat screws up the files. As far as the file I show corrupted, I've just assumed either the download was corruupt or the orginal was corrupt.
Not ruling about a bad body either, just can't make that assessment. I do know that SPP5 doesn't play well with SD10 Files.
Bon Chance Mike, Hopefully you can find a solution without too much more furstration. I'd be more than a little "perturbed" (insert other appropriate word/s as needed) myself.
Hopefully this corroboration(?) helps a little bit

My bad, mate.....It was in a folder I had for downloaded SD1 files so I had assumed it was an SD1 file (didn't even bother to check the exif data).......very sorry, to all who were misled.
Correct, in another part of this thread I explained that the file I uploaded was not in fact corrupt, but that I thought it was because of how SPP was compromised after opening ANY corrupt file prior to a good file.
Well, make me a pointless favor - save one corrupted file and send it to me for analyzis. After that you may delete it.
Here comes the punchline. Because this is NOT my SD1. It is the one you tested yourself.
Since I bought my own SD1, I have a production body and except for one issue with a very cheap CF card, I have not had any of the issues the OP has described. In addition to my "for fun" landscape shooting, I have shot a wedding and two charity events with the SD1 and it has performed very well. No lockups, no corrupted images, etc...
You just found some more you said in another post... You can't even keep 1 to share?
Sounds weird, yes. But there might be a good explanation.
The main problem with discussions like this is that all data points are anecdotical. One says si and one says so ... and one claims si and another so. And ... everything might be just as said ... or in the worst case just misunderstandings or lies. We dont know.
If someone claims something as bad as he does I'd like to see it backed up. I find it at the least peculiar that he can't provide one corrupted file but does share a file with missed focus? Why to save that one if space is such an issue?
Well I did have quite some with the SD14 in the past so I was at first a bit worried.
Seems like it is not. If this guy is a pro he would never risk breaching an NDA is he had signed one.
I also think there are other issues at hand. The camera is not working out for him. This is very possible, the camera has a certain temperament
I suspect it is not the camera given the travel history of this camera.Or are we sure its the camera? I mean ... we have no corrupt files to look at. And then we are back where we began
Why do you butt out? You started this discussion.
Yes, plus the SA mount.
Except that Sigma never have been interested in becoming a sensor manufacturer. They want to sell lenses and to have a stunning SLR system. How the DP cameras fit into that I dont know, maybe it was just a fun thing to do.
Its very hard for a camera company without customers to become a pro camera supplier just because you make a camera and a press release with a high price. I would say - almost impossible.
Well Foveon tried to do just that for a number of years and nearly went out of business doing so. They were bought for a song by Sigma specifically because given the opportunity no other camera manufacturer wanted to use their sensors. They pounded on the door of every manufacturer for years but no one answered. Foveon was a sensor company trying to sell the X3 to anyone who would buy one and that business model failed, probably no reason for Sigma to repeat the experiment. On the other hand, nothing could be as stupid as their business decisions regarding the SD1...
