At least they won't completely leave them in the cold... They can do that because this "existing SD1 customer" base can likely be counted on one's fingers. Taylor

Haha! I think they screwed up from the very start, and the FF Nikon D800 has just rendered their camera completely pointless; if it even needed that. Luminous Landscape nailed it on the head: James

Hmm... "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

Sigma was supposedly quite patriarchal when the senior Yamaki was running the company. Sounds like more reasoned voices have prevailed now that his son is in charge.
