It uses the same Foveon X3 sensor as the company’s flagship SD1 DSLR, which captures three colors at each of its 14.6 million pixel sites. The quoted price is the camera’s ‘street price’ reflecting what Sigma thinks the camera will actually sell for, rather than a more speculative recommended selling price.
