The Sigma SD1 features a 24×16mm APS-C X3 direct image sensor and dual “TRUE (Three-layer Responsive Ultimate Engine) II” image processing engines


The Sigma SD1 is Sigma’s flagship digital SLR model, adopting a lightweight and solid magnesium alloy for its body and O-ring sealing connections to make a weather-resistant design throughout for use in harsh conditions. The Sigma SD1 DSLR incorporates a 24×16mm APS-C X3 direct image sensor and dual “TRUE (Three-layer Responsive Ultimate Engine) II ”image processing engines. The combination of the 46 megapixel sensor and dual TRUE II processing engines ensure the high resolution images are processed quickly with high definition and a smooth and subtle graduation of color.

Key Features

- Foveon X3 46MP Image Sensor
- Lightweight, Solid Magnesium Alloy Body
- Weather Resistant
- Large 3.0" TFT Color LCD Monitor
- True II Image Processing Engine
- Compatible With CF Card

The latest direct image sensor technology
The Sigma SD1 is Sigma’s latest digital SLR camera which meets high requirements of professional and enthusiast photographers for all types of photography. The 46 megapixel (4,800×3,200×3 layers) 24×16mm APS-C X3 direct image sensor featured in the Sigma SD1 captures all primary RGB colors at each and every pixel location, ensuring the capture of full and complete color. Using three silicon-embedded layers of photo detectors, stacked vertically to take advantage of silicon’s ability to absorb red, green and blue light at different respective depths, the Sigma SD1 efficiently reproduces color more accurately, and offers sharper resolution.

Pro results for professional photographers
The Sigma SD1 incorporates a dual “TRUE (Three-layer Responsive Ultimate Engine) II ” image processing engine which improves the processing speed and overall quality of the final image. The unique image-processing algorithm provides high resolution power and reproduces high definition images with richly graduated tones. The autofocus system features an 11 point twin cross sensor. The shifted twin cross type sensor improves AF accuracy.

Lightweight, solid camera body
The Sigma SD1 adopts a lightweight yet solid magnesium alloy body designed to withstand rough use and shocks in harsh conditions. Buttons and connections benefit from O-ring sealing connections to prevent dust and water getting inside the camera body. The Sigma SD1 camera features a 3.0 inch TFT color monitor. This 460,000 pixel resolution LCD monitor benefits from a wide viewing angle, making it easy to check focusing and composition. Furthermore, the Sigma SD1 adopts the Type I CF Card. The Sigma SD1 DSLR camera is compatible with the UDMA enabling fast processing of large amounts of data.
