In my own experience I've found the better the lens the more pleasing the result can be from the foveon sensor. To me photography is like art, its not always necessary to get accuracy but it is essential to get something that pleases. Personally although there are times I like accurate colours from my photographic equipment, there are other times where I just want pleasing colours. Regarding the review itself, again very fair and informative. If this approach was taken more often there could be a wealth of information available that is currently lacking for some equipment that don't always do so well in the one size fits all sort of review that is so often implemented. It would be nice if other reviewers did more follow up reviews of the equipment of smaller manufacturers in a range of real life situations beyond the initial review. It would probably have been an easy decision to take the D300 with you on holiday and possibly would have resulted in more clicks from interested Nikon users but I doubt anything would have been learned that has not already been said before so the decision to try out the SD14 was not only an interesting one but should be applauded too. justascot - Thursday, Jlink After reading your previous article on the SD14 I wouldn't have been surprised if that would have been the end of your writings on this camera.If they were to address this area for the model after the rumoured SD15 then I can see myself upgrading because image quality wise it should raise the game again. I don't see the need to upgrade until the sensor improves significantly. Not quite sure what they mean by that but personally in use I've found the current limitations of the sensor adequate for my current needs and I've got used to coaxing it get the best out of it. On the release of the DP1 there was talk that by Photokina there would be more info regarding an SD15 that uses the same sized sensor but addresses some of the issues found in the SD14. Some users are willing to go to so much trouble in order to have extra lenses at their disposal but most users will accept that they are restricted to Sigma only lenses and if each Sigma SD14 owner invests in only two lenses there must still be a reasonable profit margin there. The camera only accepts Sigma mount lenses unless you are either willing to to do a mount conversion or use an adapter. Where Sigma do make money is the lens mount.
