Hello there, first post. I'm looking to upgrade to a digital SLR (ive had expirience with them in the past in my job field, but have yet to purchase one.) I am trying to decide between the Sigma SD14 and the Canon 30D.

Now ive read MANY reviews online about both of them, but I was hoping there were some users on here that had an opinion as well. I dont have any lenses for either, so I would essentially be starting from scratch.

From what i've read and seen (various sample pictures), the Foveon chip is superb with image quality and color being sharp and saturated. Im not too worried about the noise that is associated with the ISO 1600 setting on the SD14, as my shots are 99 percent of the time taking during sunny days and basically situations that wouldnt have me on anything above 800 too much.

(Now that you see im leaning towards the SD14, let me know what you have to think! Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!)

Ron
