Sigma has rolled out the SD15 Twin Zoom Kit, which consists of the SD15 digital single lens reflex camera, a Sigma 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM standard zoom lens and a Sigma 50-200mm F4-5.6 DC OS HSM telezoom lens. The Sigma SD15 is a digital single lens reflex camera, which has a 14-mega pixel X3 direct image sensor that captures fully the three basic colors of light – red, green and blue – at every pixel location over three layers.
The Sigma 18-50mm F2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM standard zoom lens is equipped with approximately 4 stops OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. The lens offers a large aperture of F2.8 at the 18mm focal length. The Sigma 50-200mm F4-5.6 DC OS HSM telezoom lens offers approximately 4 stops OS (Optical Stabilizer). The small and light construction ensures great portability and easy handheld telephotography. Both the standard zoom and telephoto zoom lenses allow a wide shooting coverage from wide-angle to telephoto. The new Sigma SD15 Twin zoom kit will be available from July 15, 2011. [DSLR Photo]
