Sigma DP1 review

The DP1 is a thinking photographers camera. It is not fast, it requires a slight learning curve but it delivers image satisfaction beyond the call of duty. I need a camera that releases when I want it to...and not interfere with my vision/thinking at all. The DP1 set on manual focus at hyperfocal distance on A mode is as close to a Leica M as ya can get. It lets you move amongst tourist and does not read PRO photographer or expensive camera.
With the optional viewfinder and a wrist strao, I'm set again for a long time....

The image quality at any iso is superb.

Problems:

No problems once you acheive the dimensions of your relationship with the camera.
