Paul Monckton from PersonalComputerWorld reviewed the Sigma SD14 DSLR camera. Here’s the conclusion: “One area where the SD14 trounces its predecessor is in image noise. Push an SD10 up to the higher settings and images very virtually unusable. The SD14, however, fares rather better, producing very serviceable pictures right up to ISO 800. A semi-hidden extended mode lets you shoot at ISO 1600, where there’s certainly a fair amount of noise, but images are still useable after some image processing.

So while the SD14 isn’t for everyone, its sensor technology, good build quality and ease of use make it an exciting creative tool for keen enthusiasts and those who want full control and a film-like response.

Most importantly, the image quality from the SD14 at its best is simply superb. It’s right up there with the best you can get from digital SLRs today and capable of producing stunning, professional results, albeit without some of the advanced features found on top of the range professional cameras.”

Pros: Superb professional-level image quality; 14-megapixel sensor; big improvement on SD10
Cons: No image stabilisation; basic features; some software issues
Overall: A vast improvement over the SD10, the SD14 delivers stunning image quality but is not for everyone
