SD1 price drop to a more sane $2299: Sigma SD1 becomes SD1 Merrill and gains (much) keener price tag: Digital Photography Review

More on the compacts: Sigma DP series reinvented as DP1M and DP2M with 15MPx3 sensor from SD1: Digital Photography Review

Print Tour!

The Online Photographer: The Sigma Bigprint Unofficial National Tour

Looks like the 15 Foveon may be the real deal. @tc95 had better snag one!

The biggest thing preventing me from buying one now to try is that they are Sigma mount. Even if they SOLD it as a Nikon mount I'd be more tempted
