Sigma SD15 bodies now in stores for $989
The delayed Sigma SD15 DSLR has finally began showing up in US stores. First shown in September of 2008, the camera sports the signature 14-megapixel Foveon X3 CMOS sensor along with a 3-inch LCD. There is otherwise a 5-point auto focus sensor that can shoot up to 21 continuous shots in RAW.
It can shoot in high dynamic range for artistic images, and a 77-segment auto exposure sensor is present. Images are kept blur-free thanks to a dual-motor anti-camera shake system. The ISO range dips as low as 50 and as high as 3,200, while images are saved onto SDHC cards.
The shooter is available from stores such as B&H, priced at $989 for the body only. [via Akihabara]

It's not 14MP.w91t.com/ wiDth=
Sigma lies about their megapixel count due to the crappy Foveon technology that they use. A more accurate count would be about 4.6MP.
Bottom line: Sigma digital cameras are high-priced proprietary products which perform poorly. And if you want to buy their mediocre lenses, be my guest...it's a matched set of c***.
