Similar to the sensor used in previous Sigma cameras, this one is a bigger 24x16mm, which makes it a true APS-C-sized sensor. Its three-layered design allows the camera to record all three primary colors at every pixel site, producing images with rich color and detail. Dual TRUE II engines handle the image processing. Additional features include a new 11-point, twin-cross type AF system, a three-inch 460,000-dot TFT display and a weather-sealed magnesium-alloy body with O-ring sealed connections to keep dust and moisture out.
