Brilliant image quality, basically no chromatic aberration, manual shooting modes, manual focus dial

Very slow, some exposure issues at times, no viewfinder, no RAW+JPEG, poor autofocus, expensive

Sigma's DP-1 is a very interesting camera. On one hand it captures some of the best shots we've ever seen from a non-SLR camera, making it great for enthusiasts. However it also has slow performance, an annoying interface and lacks a viewfinder. The...

SLR quality in a point-and-shoot form ; Excellent image quality ; Can easily isolate subjects with shallow depth of field ; Solid camera construction

Mediocre LCD ; Sigma's raw processing software is limited and clunky ; Sigma raw files not supported by Aperture or iPhoto ; Slow to focus and save images ; Images shot above ISO 800 are overly noisy

Class leading detail in ISO 100 images, higher ISO performance better than most compact cameras Resolution is as good as it gets in compact cameras, very impressive for output size Good dynamic range (though limited usable headroom in raw files) Very...

Desaturated and 'flat' JPEG output Some chroma noise even at base ISO, lots of it at higher sensitivities Unreliable White Balance (and poor color in low light) Generally very slow, very long read/write and processing times Unimpressive shutter lag...

Fantastic lens ; Solid build ; Great pictures

Sluggish operation ; Limited features ; Expensive

And so, the Sigma DP1 is a bit of a mixed bag. Thought of as a quality compact digital camera, the image quality is streets ahead of any of compact with a "normal" sensor and competes well with DSLR image quality and so makes it a realistic back up,...

The Sigma DP1 is a major advance in compact digital cameras, but it does have its problems, including no zoom lens, slow in taking photos, not very good low light performance, and only focuses down to 12″ However, the picture quality in good light is...

Very slow, some exposure issues at times, no viewfinder, no RAW+JPEG, poor autofocus, expensive

There are countless uses for a camera of the DP1's capabilities. The ultra-portable Sigma DP1 would make a superb choice for travel photographers. It would be fair to say Sigma's DP1 is the digital compact camera equivalent to Canon's full-frame EOS...
