In reply to Eddie Davis, 4 months ago

Sigma has got a lot of things right with their SD1, just look at this list of pluses from Dpreview:

Exceptional image quality at low ISO, especially in Raw mode
Very good build quality (including weatherproofing)
Straightforward operation, with external controls for all key functions
Large, clear viewfinder
Excellent grip, extremely comfortable to shoot for extended sessions
Near-perfect implementation of mirror lockup (for tripod work)

I mean can you beat that?

You would be objective if you'd post the list with the "not so right things".

Never owned the SD1 but I've had almost all DP's including the latest DP2M. First of all, the AF in low light is abysmal at best. Then the ISO issue. It's hard to believe in 2013 Sigma does make a camera with unusable ISO 800 and above. Yes, lenses are sharp on all DP's but does that really matter when you can barely focus in low light?
