Sigma SD10 review

HAd mine 3 months now. 1st digital slr (4th digital camera)

Photography is fun again.
The image quality is superb when you do it right. Finding out what right is, is the problem and The fun!
With the sharpness of the sensor I have taken to having to use a tripod for nearly every shot, The first time in 25 years of slr photographic experience, some professional. Any camera shake is seen and noted, mirror slap...seen ist time ever, and I have had some rough manual cameras.
The Image quality is worth the extra effort.
I don't use 400 & 800 iso much so cant really comment.
This is a KISS camera, the kind I like.
raw software (spp2.2) excellent

Problems:

The matrix metering isn't great so i mostly use CW.
noise with underexposure.
battery drains quickly.
AF suspect in low contrast scenes
