OOps, I meant the green specially on the LEFT side. And I think one can almost see it in the last picture sample provided.
I have ordered my DP1 already and am now worried about this color artifact!

The sound and IQ are strong, but the green corners (specially on the right side are VERY disappointing.. Is it me or could this green edge be detected even in the photos??

Hi Hmm! Half green effect!

It’s because you play thru VLC - try Quicktime and everything will look much much better! The Asian girl is MINE! :D that’s why!

Why is it green at the half of the screen on all the movies?
Why is the asian girl so damn cute?

Hi Pschewrozki!

No, there is no cable release available right now that I know of.

Hi Laurent!

No, there is no live histogram, only a dead one. I guess they’re saving some goodies with firmware upgrades. (they did change a lot on the SD14 that way). But you do get a good feeling for exposure on the LCD.

I will post some RAW very soon. You will need Sigma photo Pro 3.1 (Mac) or Sigma Photo pro 2.4 (PC) and you can’t use any other raw developer yet. They have made significant changes to the raw format.

Hi Carl,

Thanks for your feedback on this long awaited camera, on the paper the dp1 is not really the perfect compact digicam I hope to have one day but it’s getting close… and thanks to your pictures sample I know how good the image quality could be.
I have two questions for you:
- Can the dp1 display the histogram at shoot time ?
- Can you post an sample raw picture ? I would like to test it with dcraw.

hi carl
do you have already a good panorama in your mind?
where is sitting the cable-release plugin?

Hi Wolfie. No, not yet. Do you think it should have?

Hi Carl - just interested in your comments on the battery life. Does the DP1 have a screen mode for just showing the exposure settings (like on many DSLRs now) without a live view running? Regards, Wolfie

Hi Lemuel!

Is that short battery life? I thought it was quite good. :D and yes, I think this cam is no made for IR photography like the SD14.

i can live with a short battery life on the dp1.

dp1 might have worked for me if the ir cut-off filter was screwed-in infront of the lens.it looks like they designed it to be inaccessible unlike in the sd-14.

what do you think?

Apparently the sound quality is very good. Now I wonder how good the videos can be upsampled… With wide angle video shaking to and from the object gives a very amusing sight on Linn :D

Ahhh.. Bruno. I see. :D Well. Not sure who to ask. You must have a Sigma office / dealer in your country? (Spain / Italy)

I was meaning “where to have a DP1 sample (the camera)” to shoot around as you have done so well.

Hi,
the movie ok, but I got it striped: I do not know why. As for the pictures, fantastic. Where is possible to get one for me to make a review on my website http://www.testiweb.com ?

All the best

I would love to see some low light shots without flash, at ISO 400/800 in color…

[...] PRZOOM - Newswire & Press Release - Strictly Business News - Free Press Releases Distribution wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerpt ISO800 I decided to see how good the battery was and how much juice I could squeeze out before dead - It’s not a perfect test but a real world sort of version. I manual focused more or less 99% of the time - I did try some AF shots but decided that manual focus was a bit more cool. I’m sure that AF + no LCD would give you lots and lots of more shots. I turned off the camera very often. I’m not sure if that’s draining or some, but I guess that there is a good sleep mode that could have worke [...]
