Yes, Amazon is reporting the DP1 as
shipping on March 25, and costing $800. I'm not sure how seriously to take that date, given the DP1's history.
And what of the comparable
Ricoh GR Digital II that is already shipping?

Clearly, Sigma was actually plotting the
downfall of their own belabored product from the get-go when they chose a 16mm prime. Lord knows,
no serious photographer—certainly none willing and able to shell out $800 for a point-and-shoot—would
ever consider buying a point-and-shoot with such a FOV!
Look, this camera may turn out to stink, but it won't be because it has a fixed focal length or the "28mm equivalent" FOV!
