PopPhoto posted a Sigma DP1 review. Sigma DP1 is a compact size DSLR camera. It features a 14.1 Megapixel image sensor, ISO 800 and a 2.5-inch LCD screen.

PopPhoto’s comments:

The DP1 sets a new standard for image quality in a compact camera, especially at ISO 400 and 800. Its fixed 28mm-equivalent f/4 lens has incredibly low distortion and minimal light falloff that adds to image quality.

Now, if only it had a faster AF system, shorter delays between single JPEG and RAW shots, a more sophisticated pop-up flash, and an image-stabilized zoom lens, the DP1’s potential could go well beyond cult favorite to mainstream popularity.

Sigma announced the launch of the DP1, a compact digital DSLR, in the Spring. Sigma DP1 is equipped with the FOVEON X3 14 Megapixel direct image sensor, a 16.6mm F4 lens designed for DP1, ISO 800 sensitivity and a 2.5-inch LCD display. DP1 accepts SD and SDHC cards and supports USB 2.0 connectivity. It measures 113.3mm x 59.5mm x 50.3mm and weighs 250g.
