Connectivity
Software
The Sigma SD14 ships with Sigma's Photo Pro 3.0, which the company touts for a RAW workflow. Look for our full review to learn more about the software.
 
Jacks, Ports, Plugs
The SD14 has a USB jack, analog video out, and a jack for an external power supply. Its hot show is compatible with Sigma dedicated flashes and non-dedicated generic flashes. It also has a PC terminal for studio flash. The SD14 can be controlled with a wireless remote as well.
 
Direct Print Options
The SD14 does not appear to offer PictBridge or DPOF printing capability.
 
Battery
The SD14 uses a small Li-Ion rechargeable battery. Li-ion has become the leading battery technology for digital cameras, combining low weight, small size, and high capacity. Look for our full review for our impressions about the SD14's battery performance.
 

 Memory
The SD14 accepts Compact Flash cards, the most common media for DSLRs. Compact Flash is relatively cheap, available in many sizes, and durable.
 
 
 
 
 
Other Features
Image Dust Protector - Sigma hit upon a simple solution to dust on the sensor – the SD14 has a glass cover just under the lens mount, in front of the shutter and the reflex mirror. It's easy to clean there, and according to Sigma, if any dust lands on it, it's too far away from the sensor to leave a focused shadow on the image – hence, no dust spot.
 
Pentaprism - With many cutting corners by using mirrors instead of prisms in their viewfinders, it's good to see Sigma use the more robust prism.

    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
