More lies from George - who doesn't even own a camera, but wants you to buy
the crap Sigma makes to satisfy his urge to "control" others.

This chart is in error; the Sigma SD10 has only 3.43 megapixels.

1 red pixel plus one green pixel, plus one blue pixel equals one pixel
output, if they are all in the same point in the 2D plane of the sensor.

Seems to be a serious error in his chart - it takes 3 photodetectors (R,
G, B) to make up a pixel in the SD10. That means there are only 3.4, not
10.2 mp.

George, are you going to correct this error?

Am I missing something or what here? Someone is telling us the attributes
of a type of camera he prefers and everyone blasts him. The reviews I read
on the Sigma have been alright and after years of owning Sigma lens I can
tell you they do put out good products. Why not let him make his case and
everyone else do the same so people can make choices from the information?
I own a Fuji S5000 and almost love it. I someday will jump to dslr and find
the technology debates interesting. (this coming from a person who said
years ago that autofocus will never catch on)

You've missed a lot, look back in the newsgroup.
Why did you assume Georgette is a man, do you know something ?
