I saw the camera body on display at the shop next to fotoguide...and the box at the fotoguide's windows...compare to the box for the 50-500...look like they are abt the same size

Yupe, $3.6 for body only. They will most likely quote $3.8 but if u really wana get it, speak to the boss(man with moustache).

Thanks Wilkoh. Buying? Nah...can't afford yet...and digital is still too expensive for me at the moment. S$3.6k, better get a D100 to use Nikkor lenses...

hmmm.... S$3.6K seems a tad expensive given that BHPhoto is selling it for US$1,799.95 ~ S$3.2K.

Number of SD9s sold in Singapore - I'm guessing close to zero...?

I hope the SD9 doesn't cause financial ruin to Sigma. We'll miss their good and cheap lenses if they go bankrupt. Best for them to stick to core competencies

I also saw SD9 in MS colour in their shop display wrapped in plastic. Size wise I think is as big as S2pro. I think for 3.6k no one will buy this body especially this camera using Sigma's SA mount, which fated to doom! For that price people wil opt for D100/D60/S2pro. I think Sigma should revise their price, below 3k then they may able to capture market. From DPreview if I am not wrong this camera only can shoot at RAW no Jpeg mode...another draw back......

How much is teh lens then? if teh body is expensive. The lens is cheaper than Nikon/canon/*** sigma make. It chould generate enuff interest for people to buy.

Beep beep... it's the price updater....


Fotoguide quoted $3.3k for the SD9 body alone. Or $4320 with a 15-30mm Sigma lens.


Price checked 6pm 20th Dec 2002
