Sigma SD1
Thursday, February 9th, 2012
After trying to sell their SD1 Digital SLR camera at the unreasonable price of $9,700 or 7,000€ or £6,199.99 (inc VAT), Sigma finally decided that customers are not completely wackos about the camera and just announced a much more normal price of $3300 (with a minimum advertised street price of $2200/2500€).
It may seem still too high, but it is in direct relation with the reality of the market for a rather exceptional digital sensor.
The only difference is that Sigma re-brands the camera as SD1 Merrill (adding the name of the inventor of the Foveon sensor included in the camera).

Comapre this price to the nex Nikon D800. Both are at the same price, but the performance is not even comaprable. I would not even think of buying a Sigma if I did nto have a bunch of old Sigma lenses to keep.
And i don’t believe a word of what they say about the manufacturing costs.
