What's Hot

Brilliant image quality, basically no chromatic aberration, manual shooting modes, manual focus dial

What's Not

Very slow, some exposure issues at times, no viewfinder, no RAW+JPEG, poor autofocus, expensive

The Final Word

Sigma's DP-1 is a very interesting camera. On one hand it captures some of the best shots we've ever seen from a non-SLR camera, making it great for enthusiasts. However it also has slow performance, an annoying interface and lacks a viewfinder. The price will also buy you a good, entry level digital SLR.
