On October 27th 2003 Sigma announced the new SD10. This new X3 based digital SLR is the successor to the SD9 which was the first digital camera to utilize Foveon's unique X3 sensor technology (info here). The SD10 has a Sigma AF mount and, like the SD9, a Foveon X3 10M CMOS Sensor* which has 2268 x 1512 x 3 photodetectors (three photodetectors for each pixel location). With the advent of the SD10 both Sigma and Foveon are taking the (braver but) more logical position of using the number 10 million to represent the number of photodetectors, I'm sure this decision will be debated ad nauseam but it's easy to see their position, in our previous experience the X3 sensor delivers approximately twice the resolution of a standard mosaic sensor with the same number of horizontal and vertical pixel locations.

Detailed review of Sigma SD10, with actual sample images, and a detailed data sheet.
A brilliant camera for advanced photographers, but new users should look elsewhere.
Sigma SD10
Lenses, Image Sensor, Viewfinder, Flash The SD10 employs a SA bayonet lens mount for Sigma SA series lenses. Because the image sensor is smaller than a 35mm film frame you must use a factor of 1.7x to determine the equivalent angle of view for the lens being used. A normal 50mm lens is the same
