Also reported are some prices that are around $1,310 for the body only, and a kit price of $1,528. These are estimated prices based on the current rate of exchange.

The SD15 comes with a 14-megapixel Foveon X3 direct image sensor, this consists of three 4.7-megapixel layers which individually capture blue, green or red light. Add to that a 3-inch LCD display, a True II image processor, 77-segment AE sensor and AFE (Analog Front End). Camera images are saved to a SD card.
