… The Japanese “wabi sabi” is roughly the inclusion of a deliberate flaw in a masterpiece. A point being to create understanding that nothing in life is perfect.

… As I put my SD14 up for sale, it strikes me that this may be something true about every Sigma camera model. The SD14 is a magnificient camera, with brilliant images. Except that it has a fatal WB/ hue flaw that spoils it for me.

Hi lain:  Don't give up. on the SD14.  I had the same problems a greenish hue in my images that was difficult to correct.  I started using a custom white balance on the camera and the issue was fixed.  The SD24 produced extraordinary images there after!  Give it a try I think you will love the results of the SD14 afterwards  

.. Perhaps all the models are deliberately so, in one way or another. Imperfect. Like life.
