The Sigma SD10 is a digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) manufactured by the Sigma Corporation of Japan. It was announced on October 27, 2003, and is an evolution of the previous SD9 model, addressing many of the shortcomings of that camera. The Sigma SD10 cameras are unique in the digital DSLR field in using full-color sensor technology, and in that they only produce raw format images that require post-processing on a computer.

Foveon X3 image sensor

Like its predecessor, the SD10 uses a sensor with the unique

Bayer sensor
cameras also count each single-color sensor element as a pixel.

Raw output only

Unlike other DSLR cameras marketed concurrently, the SD10 performs no in-camera processing to common image formats such as

Adobe Photoshop CS2
supports the format, as do several other image-processing applications.

Shooting modes

The camera supports single-shot, continuous, 2 or 10 second self-timer, mirror lock-up, and auto

exposure bracketing
.

Exposure modes

Four different exposure modes are supported: aperture priority (A), shutter speed priority (S), manual (M) and program automatic (P).

Lens availability

The SD10 supports only

EF mount-based lenses can be converted to Sigma AF mount
retaining autofocus and camera controlled aperture setting, however optical stabilisation will not work.
