After more than two years of operation, the coded aperture SIGMA telescope has accumulated several days of observation toward well known X-ray binaries. Four persistent bright sources have been detected so far: the pulsar GX 1+4 near the center of our galaxy, the stellar wind accreting system 4U 1700-377, and the black-hole candidates Cygnus X-1 and GX 339-4. The spectral properties of these systems in the SIGMA domain will be compared.
