I put together this collection of info for those people interested in
buying a digital SLR. These are the reasons why you shouldn't buy any
other camera besides a Sigma SD10.

1) Superior build like a tank

2) Wealth of available lenses and accessories

3) Image quality is superior to all other cameras due to the highly
acclaimed Foveon sensor.

4) True, realistic color images: The Sigma SD* series are the only
digital cameras to record images in color instead of monochrome.

5) The best RAW conversion software available

6) Superior ergonomics

7) The most advanced features of all digital SLR cameras

8) Better effective resolution than any other digital SLR including
the Canon 1Ds

9) Best dynamic range of all digital SLR cameras

10) Highly advanced autofocus system

12) Metering/exposure is always *DEAD ON BALLS* accurate. Can't say
the same for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus or Kodak

13) Far less complaints of image softness than Canon and Nikon digital
SLR cameras

14) Forward compatibility: The Sigma/Foveon platform is a cutting edge
hot technology that will be around in 10 years. Canon and Nikon will
be dinosaurs by then.

15) No need to spend a fortune on expensive lenses with image
stabilization or heavy tripods. Camera shake is prevented by an
elaborate in-camera algorithms.

Gee, maybe I should let him out of my kill file, I'd like to see how he

This is incorrect, and so were your other assertions.

Who's this Giorio? Is he a real Sigma fan - or is it just TP pretending
to be it, in order to 'proof' the inferior Sima quality?

Both trolls refuse to show real pictures.


BTW: I'm a glad user of e.g. a Sigma 24mm/2.8,
