It’s unique. It's groundbreaking.
It’s an image sensor that reproduces
colors as faithfully as film.
The conventional image sensors
used in most DSLR cameras can only
detect light intensity. Using a color
filter, they use complex computations
to fill in the gaps in their color
perception, interpolating colors that
aren't really there, and artificially
synthesizing hypothetical hues.
This essential weakness of the color
synthesis mechanism is why most
digital cameras produce images that
are sharply-defined, but weak on
natural texture.
Most digital cameras, but not all.
Thanks to the Foveon X3®, a unique
and ground-breaking direct image
sensor, the SD14 is about to turn
conventional wisdom on its head.
The Foveon X3® has three layers
of color-sensing pixels — one for
red light, one for green and one for
blue — just like the three layers of
emulsion in photographic film.
These three layers capture absolutely
all the color directly, and record it
faithfully. Color is recorded without
any distortion, creating an extremely
vivid feel which out-performs the
pixel count by a long way.
The image quality is pure, and the
colors feel satisfyingly natural.
The SD14.
It’s the only camera truly faithful to
the colors of nature.
The ultimate in color sensitivity.
