So I bagged a mint condition SD15 complete with Sigma 18-50mm F2.8-4 lens all the way from Latvia for the princely sum of £190, which I consider to be quite a bargain. Judging by the condition of both camera and lens they had hardly been used.

Hmmph! My new-in-box SD14, ordered 5 days ago, hasn't even shipped from Amazon yet, grrr.

Well the Latvian Postal system must be uber efficient, only took two days to get here in the UK.

Anyway, overall I'm pleased with the set-up, a typical Sigma cam, no frills, does what it says on the tin, though I do like the mirror lock up being on a dial and the bracketing feature, which is neat. Hopefully we'll get some decent sun this weekend so I can do some IR shooting and post back.

Quite tempted to pop the filter out of the current SD14, now we've got some sun around here . .

Should work as well as the SD15 for IR stuff and popping the dust protector/Filter out is no biggie. I also lkie it because you get to shoot when normally you'd do the opposite due to the harsh light.
