It's not really a 10+mpix dslr; it's a 3.3+mpix dslr, but one which measures R,G & B values at every pixel (it uses the Foveon sensor). Sigma call it a 10MP camera because it takes as many samples as a digital camera with a 10MP Bayer-pattern sensor. It doesn't have the spatial resolution of a 6MP *ist-D (or even a D2H), but it doesn't suffer from chrominance aliasing or any of the other artifacts created by Bayer interpolation. For some purposes it will out-perform the *ist-D or the Nikon D2H. On other subjects it won't perform much better than a 3.3MP Optio.
