This is typical for Sigma DSLRs. They are sold for very little money after a while. And the SD15 is about to come...

Price was lowered this spring to $600. $400 is only next step. Sigma introduced SD15 (same sensor, better IQ, lower noise, bigger LCD, new DSP, faster processing, support for SD memory cards etc), which should be available in April. Maybe Sigma needs to sell-out stock full of SD14 cameras. Maybe Foveon needs to sell out 4,7M sensors (they develop new version with higher resolution and it's better to sell 4,7M sensors for this price than leave them on stock). Maybe Sigma wants to spread their cameras more, because majority of their advertisement originate from the users themselves.

What mount does Sigma use? Is it proprietary?


Yes, but from what I read is very similar to the Canon EOS one and someone managed to hack Canon lenses in it without the need of an adapter.

Wow, at that price could be a nice target!
I've been always looking at the Sigmas but always refused to buy one because the price...

Let's see how does it evolve locally. Time to sell some lenses to make cash....
