Sigma DP1Photography BLOG have reviewed 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 £616 from Amazon:

“The Sigma DP1 offers the best image quality, JPEG or RAW, of any compact camera currently available today and in many ways equals DSLR cameras with APS-C sized sensors. There is virtually no noise throughout the ISO range, only at the fastest setting of ISO 800, which left me wondering why Sigma didn’t extend the range to ISO 1600 and make the DP1 more versatile in low-light. Chromatic aberrations like purple and green-fringing, typically a problem in this class of camera, are simply non-existent on the DP1, testament to the excellent lens, which is also the reason for the almost complete lack of pincushion or barrel distortion.”
