Sigma SD14

- Innovative internal design (Foveon Chip) 
- Dust Protection scheme – if it works
- Comfortable Grip        
Dislikes
- Limited 5-frame RAW burst (took over 30 seconds to write)
- Low-resolution LCD
- Mode dial is a waste of space (restricts monochrome LCD)
- Clumsy interface
- Feeble port door

  
 
 
 
Conclusion
It's hard to get excited about the SD14 in its current state. Either the Foveon X3 is a big advantage, or it's not, but Sigma isn't ready to let us see for ourselves. They share images of some very beautiful women, lit spectacularly. The images are sharp and the tones are smooth, but it's impossible to say what's due to the production values, and what the camera can do.
 
What we can say is that the SD14 does not offer an advanced interface or mechanical system. The value of this camera rests entirely on the possibility that its image quality is superior.

    Nikon D5100

    The D5100 is the latest entry-level DSLR from Nikon, with full 1080/30p video, an articulated LCD, and the same image sensor as the D7000. It lacks an internal focus motor, but we found it produced some of the most accurate colors we've seen yet. Read full 7-part review
