Time to rundown the 4 pro DSLRs. Sigma still leads the DSLR MP race,
with their 13.72MP SD twins. From top to bottom...

Camera body - MP (interpolation degree)
=======================================
Sigma SD9 - 3.43MP (1 sensed full color per 1 output pixel)
Sigma SD10 - 3.43MP (1 sensed full color per 1 output pixel**)
Kodak 14n - 3.38MP (1 sensed full color per 1 output pixel**)
Canon 1Ds - 2.76MP (1 sensed full color per 1 output pixel**)

**These cameras requires interpolative downsampling

Or if one prefers ouputing interpolated resolutions...

Sigma SD9 - 13.72MP (1 sensed full color per 4 output pixels)
Sigma SD10 - 13.72MP (1 sensed full color per 4 output pixels)
Kodak 14n - 13.5MP (1 sensed full color per 4 output pixels)
Canon 1Ds - 11.1MP (1 sensed full color per 4 output pixels)

Camera body - Street Price
==========================
SD9 - $630
SD10 - $1200
Kodak 14n - $4500
Canon 1Ds - $7200

but the sigma is the instamatic of the digital world.
right. the pro instamatic.

You sure haven't gotten any smrter have you George? For those who might
wonder what his post was about, George Preddy had been dead since 1945 - the
usenet troll who uses his name claims to be him, and claims to own a
camera - these are apparently fantasies. It is well known that the Sigma
SLRs (digital or otherwize) are pathetic junk that will not last long and
will only take Sigma's own cheap shoddy lenses.

Now please explain why Canon 1Ds outsell the SD10. There must be a reason
why people are so stupid as to pay 6 times the price of a Sigma SD10 or
almost 12 times the price of a Sigma SD9!

Waiting for a logical explanation.

More bovine excrement from the lips of George (or whatever his real
name is). Where does this guy come up with this nonsense?

Availability may be one reason. There are no retailers in the San Diego
area selling Sigma cameras, at least that I could find. If anyone knows of
one in the area, let me know, I would like to actually check out this
paragon of photographic rectitude. I was told that Samy's in LA has them,
but I'm not going up to LA for about a month or so...

I agree the SD9 is a 3.43MP camera

Hehe, you'll be waiting a long time, probably the length of time it
takes for the addition of compound interest to increase the money needed
to buy an SD9 enough to buy a 1DS. Either that or the length of time
that depreciation takes to reduce the value of a 1DS to that of an SD9

And what an instamatic it is, at a DSLR-leading 13.72MP interpolated,
3.43MP non-interpolated...

George Preddy in

Here are the actual, full color MP ratings of the main DSLRs...

Sigma SD9/SD10 - 3.43MP

Oops!
