Both look very good, anyone with experience with either of these two
cameras?


One of the numerous problems with these two manufacturers is that they
are are using old, dinosaur sensor technology. The pixels are recorded
in monochrome instead of color. The only true color sensors are made
by Foveon. Sigma digital cameras use these highly acclaimed Foveon
sensors. The Sigma SD10 is simply the best camera that was ever made.
Why bother with anything else? Check out this review:

Take a look at my summary of why the Sigma blows the **** out of the
others:

Just did. It concludes with "Recommended", Phil's version of damning
with faint praise. 10D, 300D and D70 are "Highly Recommended".

That does suggest the SD-10 to be "simply the best" by any means.

So I guess you have not read the reviews.

Oversized, overweight (2.0 lbs), underspec, 3.3 Mega Pixel, overpriceds,
obsolete technology

I would never carry a boat anchor like that. I used to, but grew up.

It is common knowledge that Phil Askey receives payola from Canon.
