Sigma DP1 Foveon Digital Camera Review

The Online Photographer have published their review of the new Sigma DP1. The Sigma DP1, first shown at Photokina, features the same full size 14 Megapixel Foveon sensor (2652 × 1768 × 3 layers) as featured in the Sigma SD14 Digital SLR, the camera has a 16.6mm lens, equivalent to 28mm, a 2.5" screen and a pop-up flash. The camera is available for £549 from Amazon:

"Under the right circumstances the images from this camera can be quite stunning. Noise is low even at ISO 800. Shadow detail is good. Dynamic range may be a little less than most DSLRs, so maintaining highlight detail is more the challenge. Color, contrast and sharpness can all be easily optimized with RAW processing. I was also impressed by how well the images held up even with a lot of post processing in Sigma’s RAW program."
