Sigma has debuted its third digital SLR to date, the SD14. Powered by a  14 MP Foveon X3 direct image sensor, the SD14 features four JPEG recording modes as well as RAW; and a large pentaprism viewfinder with 98 per cent coverage.

The camera is equipped with a built-in flash with a Guide Number of 11; 5-point AF system; 2.5-inch, 150,000 pixel resolution LCD monitor. Sigma says the shutter mechanism has a life cyle of over 100,000 exposures.

Additional features include a dust protector that prevents dust from adhering to the image sensor; high-speed continuous shooting at 3 fps;  a mirror lock-up mechanism that prevents camera shake; and three types of metering modes. Powered by a lithium-ion battery, the SD14 can take approximately 500 images on a full charge.

Sigma introduced its first digital SLR camera, the SD9, in October 2002. The second model, the SD10, launched in November 2003.
