Amazon and a few other retailers have started taking advance orders for the SD14, the next attempt by camera lens specialist Sigma to popularize the Foveon X3 image processor. The X3 , designed by tech visionary
Carver Meade, collects values for all three primary colors on each pixel.
Traditional camera chips record one color per pixel and interpolate colors for adjacent pixels.
The result, claim Foveon and a select but chatty group of photography weenies, is an image with considerably more depth and detail than other digital SLR cameras.
The SD14 will boast resolution of 14 megapixels and a $1,600
price tag (body only). It will also include in-camera JPEG processing, the absence of which
(combined with a body that only accepts Sigma lenses) helped limit the appeal of Sigma's two previous X3 cameras.
