I actually bought the DP1s and DP2s thinking they would be no different to the SD14 (same sensor, right?). Ha, how naïve can one get?!!

So I went out today and shot a couple of DP1s X3Fs.

Having just downloaded PhotoScape I thought that it might open them but . . . . wrong again (yes I know they only list SD9, 10, 14). Good enough, I go, so off to FastStone Viewer for a quick peek. Ha! After conversion, here we see a washed-out image that is unusable - meaning that DP1 and 2s X3F files are not even supported by DCraw.

Unbelievable.
