Sigma DP1 review

I now have over 500+ photos with my DP1, purchased on March 19. Excellent image quality, good colors, easy to use. Good Sigma Photo Pro software allows anyone to do their 'best' work in RAW format. The SPP software was updated on April 11, 2008, to SPP2.5 (PC) and SPP3.2 (Mac). Speed in writing to the memory card as well as auto focus speed are fine for me. Type of memory card used does make a difference: the DP1 support SDHC cards for example as well as slower SD cards. Check out the photos online and see that this small, lightweight camera produces 'big' camera, DSLR quality, photos.

Problems:

Not a problem but: Low light, mixed illuminant light situations require some thought as to settings, white balances, and preferences to use for best results.
