How many pixels does the Sigma SD14 have?
The Foveon X3 image sensor in the SD-14 camera has about 14 million pixels arranged in three layers of 4.67 million pixels each, to measure Red, Green and Blue light. This characteristic sets the SD-14 apart from all other digital cameras, enabling each pixel site to see all three colors, instead of only one color as in conventional image sensors. This eliminates the need for interpolation for the missing colors at each pixel site, which in turn avoids the color artifacts common to other digital image sensors, which in turn eliminates the need for the anti-aliasing (blurring) filter used in most other digital cameras. This results in higher resolution per pixel and more detail in the final print.
