Wide-angle field of view. Foveon APS-C image sensor. Superb image quality at low ISO. Bright, sharp rear LCD. Dual control dials. Quick set menu system.
Slow. Lens lacks image stabilization. Outdated Raw conversion software. Funky design. Lacks built-in EVF or add-on option. No video support. No built-in flash
The Sigma dp1 Quattro is the wide-angle sibling to the dp2 Quattro. Like the dp2, its image quality is outstanding, but it's slow to use and Raw processing requires some patience....
Sigma continue to take a solitary path with the new DP1 Quattro, remaining the only camera manufacturer to use the Foveon sensor technology. Despite some improvements to the processing speed, the Sigma DP1 Quattro is still a rather slow camera that's rea...
Excellent image quality; SLR quality in a point-and-shoot form; can easily isolate subjects with shallow depth of field; solid camera construction.
Images shot above ISO 800 are overly noisy; Sigma raw files not supported by Aperture or iPhoto; Sigmas raw processing software is limited and clunky; slow to focus and save images; mediocre LCD.
The Sigma DP1 and DP2 produce the most outstanding low ISO (100 to 400) images of any compact camera I have ever used. Their image quality is truly on the same scale as entry-level SLRs. You get sharp, accurate colors, wonderful tonality, and the abil...

Abstract: Over the past few years, countless compact digital camera designs have been marketed and sold. At first, it was all about the megapixels. The funny thing was that, at 5 megapixels or so, it was really not very important to go beyond that number in com...
Abstract: Image Quality Evaluation While I have no scientific method of measuring pure resolution, the DP1 produced superb JPEG quality at ISO 100, with the definition of intricate detail expected from an 8-megapixel D-SLR. In raw photos made at ISO 100 to 400&...
There are countless uses for a camera of the DP1's capabilities. The ultra-portable Sigma DP1 would make a superb choice for travel photographers. It would be fair to say Sigma's DP1 is the digital compact camera equivalent to Canon's full-frame EOS 5...
Abstract: One of the most anticipated cameras of 2008, the ground-breaking Sigma DP1 has a DSLR-sized, APS-C sensor in a compact body, allowing it to produce image files of a quality never before seen in a camera this small. The DP1 also features a 28mm fixed-le...
Quite simply, the DP1 provides the best image quality of any compact I’ve yet tested. But the price, overall handling and performance mean I suspect you’ll need to think long and hard to justify the outlay. However, a quick look over your imag...
Abstract: Sigma have announced the full details of their new DP1 camera, a high end pointnshoot digital camera packing a hefty 14 megapixels resolution with a full size image sensor.To say its been inspired by the Ricoh GR would be something of an understatem...
