Sigma SD9 review

I have just had sighting of a review (on land) carried out by Jon Tarrant for the BJOP magazine on the SD9. The conclusions are not very complementary.

"Sigma's camera is more limited than other digital SLR's & leaves a lot to be desired in terms of image quality at its highest sensitivity- a modest ISO400. Colour has been variable throughout testing;sometimes excellent & occasionall just plain wrong. The best that can be said is that the writers time may have been entirely wasted"

Oh dear! I thought the Foveon X3 was to be the next immediate techno breakthrough. Perhaps we will have to wait a bit longer.

Still its only one opinion. Time will tell.

Does anyone else have any other reviews on this?

Use the force young siltwalker...

There are several references to reviews throughout the forum's regarding the SD9's +/-'s.

It should be noted that the so called review in Novembers BJOP was done with a preproduction unit on its 11th review. The cover of the magazine was actually shot using just half of the chips potential (bit of a gibbon tho').

Thanks for clarifying that Bob. Is there anything you do not know?
