Sigma SD10 review

A great camera. Image quality is excellent at ISO 100, which is the speed I use for almost all of my shooting. But there are some issues... I am disappointed in the lack of Bulb shutter speed, which eliminates any possibility of astrophotography using ultra-long exposures. Not crazy about only RAW capture. File size makes storage an issue, and extra processing on PC to get from RAW format to something more usable is a headache when dealing with large quantities of photos.

Problems:

ISO settings higher than 100 produce unacceptable noise. Also, long exposures result in extra-noisy pictures, even at ISO 100. Long exposure times (5 seconds or more) result in color shift which is difficult to correct using Sigma Photo Pro or Photoshop.
