Title: SD9 and 1Ds article from Japan

Is there a short version or brief summary anywhere? I don't fancy doing a 30mb download on my dial up modem.

Title: SD9 and 1Ds article from Japan

At outbackphoto.com there is a link to a PDF (provided by Foveon) of a technical review (translated from a Japanese photography magazine) of both the Sigm SD9 and the Canon 1Ds. The two cameras are not compared against each other, since they are two entirely differnt beasts. But rather the two cameras are highlighted because they both are DSLRs that transcend, in terms of image quality (and according to the magazine), previous digital cameras. In other words, it's an exploration of how the high MP of the 1Ds and the Foveon sensor in the SD9 make these two cameras quite different from everything that came before.

It's a long, interesting, and technical article. The download, a PDF, is 30 MB! so have broadband.
