Sigma SD9 review

Even as late as 2006 this camera's images amaze and illustrate the ludicrousness of using pixel counts as a measure of a cameras ability to produce good film like images. One of these can be found used on eBay for less than more limiting digicams. It's a shame that the X3 sensor hasn't found it's way into more mainstream manufacturers gear as Sigma just doesn't seem to be able to make an impression of the mainstream photo press reviewers who understandably don't bite the hands that feed them ie. Canon, Nikon, Pentax et al

Problems:

ISO higher than 100 can be problematic under less than ideal lighting conditions. Sigma's flashes don't work as well with their own cameras as with the competitors rigs.
