hmmm, interesting. Reading between the lines, it looks like Sigma is
putting all their eggs in the resolution/sensor basket, since they
ask if you could have "fundamentally better technology, would you
settle for added improved functions, instead?" That reads, to me,
like the camera will have what Sigma considers a killer sensor, but
will be relatively de-contented. Also, looking at the brief glimpses
of images they show, it lacks the AA filter as did its predecessors,
and it still suffers from slightly yellowish skin tones...
I'm wondering what actual resolution it will offer, if the 14 refers
to the actual pixel resolution, or Sigma/Foveon's pumped up number,
3x the actual. Or if i'ts just a progression from the SD9/10...

14 MB advertised
-> 13.51MP actual
-> 4.5MP RGB pixel sites

Perhaps ??

That's what I'm thinking. Except I wouldn't call it 13.51 MP actual, I'd
say 4.5 MP actual, 13.51 MP color sites... After all, working in
monochrome, that would only be 4.5 MP.

Well, if the resolution of the 9 and 10 were the equivalent of a 6 meg
camera,
then this one if proportional will be like a 9 meg.

Except that they weren't, really. Because of the lack of an AA filter, they
resolved nearly as much detail as a 6mp camera with an AA filter, but you
lost a lot of that in the processing. And, even if it did, all of the
competitors, save for the Canon 30D (which may be on life support...) have
moved on to true 10mp or more.
