I read about the Foveon sensors early on in their development, and then lost track of them. In 2008 I purchased a Canon 40D, and enjoy it to this day.
Late last year I was looking for a pocket camera, and saw the DP series. I was close to buying one of those, when an opportunity to buy an SD14 with a couple of lenses presented itself.
While lacking some of the bells and whistles of the Canons, there is something I really like about this camera. Image quality has a feel that I can't seem to get elsewhere. While I wish it had live view, I also like that the Sigma makes me think more about my photography. With the higher frame rate of the Canon, it is a matter of spray and pray, when photographing action. With the Sigma, to get a good image, I have to anticipate, to time my shots, to actually become part of the process, rather than just fire away. I am enjoying the process of photographing much more with this camera. It is a little less forgiving, but when I do it right I am rewarded with visibly better images.
