One that fits a Sigma camera

From wikipedia:

Sigma has made a number of film SLR cameras, including the SA-300, SA-5,SA-7, and SA-9. They presently are making a DSLR, the Sigma SD14, the successor to the Sigma SD9 and Sigma SD10, all of which use the Foveon X3 sensor.

All Sigma SLR and DSLR cameras use the Sigma SA mount, which is mechanically similar to the Pentax K mount and electrically an adaptation of the Canon EF lens mount lens control system.

Did a search for Sigma cameras on Amazon and a few other sites they only threw up two different type of Sigma cameras and both were compacts. I take it not many places sell Sigma DSLRs then?

Nope. Sigma do make SLR's though and have a few dSLR's out there. They use an in house designed foveron sensor (SP) which doesnt use a bayen filter or something.

Not exactly a major player tho.

I don't know why they carry on making cameras - it must drain resources from what they do best, namely lenses.
