This X3 based digital SLR is the successor to the SD9. The SD10 has a Sigma AF mount and, like the SD9, a Foveon X3 10M CMOS Sensor, which has 2268 x 1512 x 3 photodetectors (three photodetectors for each pixel location). With the advent of the SD10, Sigma, are taking the more logical position of using the number 10 million to represent the number of photodetectors. Its manual controls offer Exposure compensation, white balance, shutter speed, apertuer, focus which does come as standard on many digital cameras in todays camera world. The camera requires 4 AA or two CR-v3 type batteries. It also takes images in full glory in RAW format.
