… 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.

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

Iain,

I use my SD14 for IR only. I never liked the colour cast problem in that camera, but as others have said it can be overcome. I think Adobe Camera Raw is good with it.

My colour hue/cast was solved  when I got the SD15 which was a very successful camera for me, netting me best photography in a major competition some years ago.  It's still working and I use it occasionally when larger files are not required. One of my favourites ever.
