Development
Since October 2002, Sigma has introduced three digital SLR cameras, the SD9, SD10 and SD14. In March 2008 Sigma therefore introduced a high-end digital compact camera, the DP1, which uses the same large image sensor as featured in Sigma’s digital SLR cameras. The DP and SD series have established a strong following from a wide range of photographers, both amateur and professional. This new SD15 has been developed with the principle of producing superior image quality from the direct image sensor, as well as improved processing speed, operation and performance.
