My only caveat with the SD14 is that to get the benefit of the Fovean sensor, the image you get is 4.6 mp max (2640x1760 pixels). To get the advertised 14.1 mp, the sensor must be interpolated. That's exactly how most DSLR sensors operate, so you would lose all the benefits of the Fovean sensor.

The downside is that I would guess that a Fovean sensor would be porportionally harder to clean. I haven't researched it, but it's definately something I would look into before buying.

So, I guess it depends on what you're doing. If you're posting to the web, or don't plan on printing anything larger than 5x7, then the Sigma is a great camera. But if you want anything more than 5mp in an image, then there's really no benefit that I can see.

To be honest, I looked into buying an SD14 some time ago, and declined for exactly this reason.
