This review is from: Sigma SD14 14.7MP Digital SLR Camera & Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS Zoom Lens (Electronics)

The Sigma SD14 is capable of some truely stunning imagery. It is not the most modern or the fastest dSLR but it is hard to beat as far as image clarity due to it's Foveon sensor.
The 18-200mm optically stabilized lens performs quite well for a "kit lens". I have been quite happy with it.

Sigma Foveon sensor takes stunning color pictures. The SD14 does not have fancy features like the other brand. The overall build is very strong but practice care with the CF card compartment.
