Bad news for anyone interested in Sigma’s new DSLR, the SD14, as the release date is pushed back to late Feb / early March next year.

Sigma Press Release

To our valued customers, The Sigma Corporation of Japan is postponing the launch date of the Sigma SD14 Digital SLR camera, which was announced at Photokina 2006. The Sigma SD14 had originally been scheduled to launch between the end of November and the middle of December. However, during final preparations, an unexpected hardware problem caused us to change the release date of the camera. Due to this design change, the release date is now expected to be towards the end of February and the beginning of March 2007*.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this postponement may cause. Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us, therefore to avoid disappointment, we feel it necessary to make these changes before releasing the camera to market.
