SD14 for £300?
      #593281 - 09/01/2008 10:00

Has anyone else noticed Jessops ad in this week's AP for the Sigma SD14? They are offering it with 18-50mm lens at £299.99 (£499.99 less £200 cashback) - must be a bargain!

It's true, I got one Very pleased with it, nice build quality, uncluttered layout, no pointless scene modes I'll never use and I've printed out a few shots taken at ISO400 to A4 size and they're sharp, smooth, colours are good and they have very little grain/noise. Got mine with a lens for the price too.

I'm really tempted but it means having at least one lens with it and I already have Canon stuff.

The Sigma lens is necessary, because the camera has a unique mount, Sigma SA, as far as I know.

Yup, and I don't think that I want to own two different camera systems. So although I'm tempted I'll remain strong and resist.
