Fabled Sigma SD14 Camera: “First” Review

We first talked about the Sigma SD14 SLR last year, reporting that it would be released in Sept 2006. Evidently things were pushed back a bit. https://gizmodo.com/sigma-teases-next-foveon-camera-the-sd14-dslr-197312 But the camera retained its promise nonetheless.
