Amazing

 

It's all about the results and Sigma DP1x doesn't disappoint. Even wide open the lens is super sharp, film like. There is super sharp digital style which I profoundly hate. This lens is sharp, neutral (Leica like), 'round' with deep colors. The focus...

Not for me...

 

As many others have eloquently said, this is one interesting little camera. Instead of Sigma, it should branded "Enigma". Based on the pictures I saw on Flickr and DP review, the DP series had me drooling. I could not wait to get my hands on one. I...

Almost impossible to review.

 

I have, use, and mostly love the original DP1. The DP1 has enormous shortcomings but its one saving grace is that the image quality at low ISOs is simply better than cameras with smaller sensors--which for now, means all P&S cameras, until the Fuji...

Decent still photos but overall it's too expensive for a compact camera

Sigma DP1x review

 

Big-sensor compact cameras such as the Sony NEX-5 are all the rage these days, but it was Sigma that got there first with the DP1 in 2008. This third-generation model has a new image-processing engine and autofocus algorithm but is otherwise largely...

We wish we could report that this Sigma DP1x camera is expensive, slow and awkward to operate; yet capable of taking stunning pictures to make it worth every penny of its £500-plus asking price. Unfortunately we only found the first part of that...
