Re: Sigma DP1

Sigma DP1 review posted at dpreview gives it an "above average" rating, not even a recommend.

Re: Sigma DP1

Yes, but you will notice DPReview gave it a 9 rating for image quality—unprecedented in a point and shoot—and the image quality comparisons with the Nikon D60 are fascinating.

Clearly, the camera is a bit fiddly, clunky and slow handling, but so are a lot of cameras, particularly niche cameras. It's too bad the limitations of the DP1 will relegate it to a niche; perhaps Sigma will find a way to make a more generally appealing DP2? (I'm not optimistic; perhaps if Canon or Fuji did something similar?) While I'm a little disappointed with what I'm reading, I'm still in the market for a point and shoot and I would probably still buy a DP1 if RAW support was forthcoming for either Lightroom or at least iPhoto/Aperture. I simply cannot conceive of being dependent on Sigma's crappy software.

Re: Sigma DP1

I posted about my first DP-1 experiences earlier in this thread. I remain a fan some months later. It a tool limited by the fixed focal length lens and operating quirks, so it can't be viewed as a general purpose compact - hence the muted enthusiasm from the dpreview review. But the image quality is the best of any compact, and that's why I continue to use it.
