The SD14 from Sigma boasts many improvements over the SD10.As the model number would suggest, capture resolution is up from 10 to 14 megapixels, but there’s a lot more to the SD14 than a simple boost in image resolution.
It has a more compact, though still rather chunky, case along with improved menu control, built-in flash, rechargeable Li-ion battery, 2.5in LCD to the rear and a larger illuminated top-mounted status panel. It’s also considerably faster in operation.
