   Carl, your early reviews and photos inspired me to purchase a Sigma DP1. Thank you! The camera is amazing. I’ve posted some pics here: http://joewilcox.smugmug.com/gallery/4601653_sodXM#272177000. Nowhere as good as yours, but still another example of what the camera can do. Again, thanks! Joe

   Your photos are cool, Carl! Good job!

   Would you mind telling us what software you use for post production of DP1, as well as the workflow? I know that you use RAW Developer to deal with your SD14 photos but seems it does not support DP1 at this moment. What I do is to convert DP1 RAW to jpg/tiff and then do further processing using Photoshop. Hows yours? Thanks! (video demonstration is appreciated :p )

   Hi Joe! I’m glad you got one and I can see that you’re already friend with it! Admit it’s a fun little camera! :D

   Hi Bill Lee!

   I’m actually thinking about doing a video of those shots seen in this post as they look a little bit more saturated and difficult than my normal stuff. It’s all about SPP - very little photoshop. That’s the good news. Let’s see if I can find time to do it.

   I really like the arty first pic. I’ve ordered a DP1 and I’m a bit worried about the “bug” when DP1 is shot directly into the sun. Have you noticed that phenomena?

   Hi Ulf.

   I have noticed that phenomena a couple of times, yes. one of those images are published here. The 8s ISO800 shot. It’s seen on very few photos. It’s not always ugly either. I actually think it’s always involving overexposed light.

   The 8s ISO800 shot:

   Here’s another shot that is taken by Said Karlsson. Look at the right big street light, there is a reddish blob beside the lamp itself. That’s what would be the most common way to see this phenomena.

   Joe Wilcox, your pictures are nice. I am so jealous, got to wait 10 more days for the DP1 to arrive.

   Carl,

   It’s nice to see great images like this coming from the DP1 in your capable hands.
   Well Done!

   Does this mean I can count on a reddish blob (IR filter pattern?) in every pic when the camara is pointed towards a intens source of light? Could this be fixed or is it a feature to live with on the DP1?

    haha, No! Absolutely no! I have seen this “effect” in THREE images total out of 4000 shots. I promise you that I’ve taken ALL types of images during these weeks.

    I would be surprised if you come to a different conclusion.

    Love the first one. You know, it’s almost morally wrong to spread this much envy!

    Interesting. I’ve had the camera 3 days and have a dozen examples of red square blobs around light sources.

    (Of course, I like including the sun in images.. :)

    My guess is that the rear lens element is not coated well and reflecting the light bouncing off the sensor like feedback.

    Check out my flickr page..

    A great example that shows the sensor feedback.
