Sigma DP1
$1,000.00
Released March, 2008
The Pros:Well built body, feels durable and sturdy. Foveon sensor provides a great color gamut to work with, captures subtle details CMOS misses. Controls are very simple, takes no time at all to learn to use it.
The Cons:Low light capture is fairly poor, start to see a fair bit of noise. Not very quick to release the shutter after button pressed.

Each individual pixel contains more information than on a regular camera, breaking up each colour rather than storing them as a single piece of data. Similarly low level post-processing effects such as anti-aliasing on the majority of systems make this 4.5MP sensor comparable to advanced 8-10MP models. Able to store photos in RAW format, the Sigma DP1 is able to maintaign and deliver the high level of quality produced by its internal componentry.
