Best in that it was the only camera that ever produced absolutely noise free skies and shadows when shot at iso 50. Once the shot was color balanced up it produced the cleanest clearest photos I've ever had.

Worse in build quality (one brand new body had the mirror fall out after a few weeks use), horrible AF and MF as the mirror wasn't aligned accurately enough to even MF, every shot had to be color balanced to remove that strong yellow/green cast, very slow processing time, etc.

My hope is that the new FF body will have the clean zero noise look of the SD14 with none of its flaws. We'll see.

Ditto, all around for the SD14! Heartily concur.

Frequently a lot of work getting the colour to avoid that "No Man's Sky"/expired Polaroid T59 film look, but most of the time worth the effort in the end.

The 'cleanest' is so true. 95% of my images shot at ISO50, and usually needed zero noise removal, zero sharpening (and not just via Sigma's SPP software). Upscaled flawlessly every time. Still in awe, when reopening RAWs many years since taken.

Flipside: sooooo many hangs/lockups & lost images, occasional glitches. Some focus challenges too. I won't sell it though. Of all cameras, it has earned a special place.
