This week Sigma has anounced that they will anounce, at the big Photokina photography confab in Germany in September, a new digital SLR: The SD14.

They have set up a teaser website here at: www.sigma-sd14.com. They are not giving up much info, but from the name you might conclude that this will be a 14 mp camera. They also say that this will be a "full color capture direct image sensor." I'm not sure just what that means, but from the tease they suggest that all other camera pixels capture just one color per pixel, implying that this new sensor will capture more.

I don't know much about Sigma cameras but it seems that the pixel race has not yet tired. Of course price is always a consideration, but if what they imply comes close to reality then imagine a camera with more than double the horsepower of a Nikon D70, and each of those horses with additional color capture capability. Yikes!
