Sigma DP1 review
This camera sucks indeed. It produces nice images but is awkward to handle.
AF is just unusable for anything except static objects.
File write time is a joke. Even after one shot the camera locks up for a while. Continous mode isn´t really usefull as it only can take 3 pics in a burst and then the camera locks up for around 20 seconds.
Lens cap really sucks. A snap off cap like from an DSLR would be much better.
This camera has nice IQ but is a pain to use. Sigma hasn´t learned. I really ask myself what the Sigma engineers have done in the time from the first presentation of a mockup model in 2006 to the real release in 2008.
LCD is bad to view in sunlight.
Problems:
Like written above: It´s slow, slow slow in every aspect.
I´m really disappointed because this camera offers really nice IQ a slim and nice body. But the speed is a deal-breaker. Come on Sigma, give us a faster camera!
