I have been intrigued by the SD10, and have been reading this forum
for some time now. At first I was put off by the dust on the
sensor thing -- this is a nonexistent issue for those of us who
have never played with dSLRs before. But I was much reassured
after reading other forums, where I learned that dust on the sensor
is common throughout the dSLR community, regardless of camera make.
And it is easy to fix. Whew!
Anyway.... I ordered my SD10 yesterday from fotoconnection.com,
which I found with a "Sigma SD10" search using nextag.com.
Fotoconnection.com gets relatively high marks -- a composite of 4
out of 5 based on over 150 customer reviews. Their price was too
good to ignore, so I went ahead and took a chance on them. I
ordered the SD10, along with both of the new DC lenses (18-50mm and
55-200mm). The price, including lenses, was $1,349. Shipping was
another $20. If my research is correct, this is the best price out
there for the whole kit. (These low-ball "Broadway" outfits are
notorious for not including a warranty with their goods, but the
online ad states there is a 1-year limited warranty, and I made
sure to confirm that a standard manufacturer's warranty accompanies
the camera.)
They called me yesterday, to confirm my order and to try and sell
me on a bunch of other "good deals." But I stood firm and held out
for just the camera kit. There have been no further hassles, and
today I received an email with UPS tracking number -- it has
shipped and is on its way to me now!
