https://mydp1.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/dp1-inspires-lx3-inspires-dp2
My quest for the elusive Sigma DP1. DP1 Inspires LX3… Inspires DP2? Temporarily pressing “Play.”. I started this blog in November 2007, when — like so many others — I was keenly anticipating the arrival of the up-to-then enigmatic DP1. I did a lot of reading, which resulted in a lot of writing, about what to expect when the camera arrived. Given that a lot of people were talking about the DP1 as a good camera for street photography. In the works, so my DP1 anticipation shifted to LX3 anticipation. The DP...

My quest for the elusive Sigma DP1. Imaging Resource Reviews DP1. Imaging Resource has reviewed the DP1.

Small camera design is easy to bring along. Single focal len...

Pause | My DP1

My quest for the elusive Sigma DP1. For the record, this blog is now officially on pause. There are several reasons why I am suspending (although not necessarily quitting) My DP1. It’s out there. When I started this blog, the DP1 was an overdue enigma, a highly anticipated great idea that kept slipping its release dates. But now it’s out there, for anyone to see and buy, so the need to rattle the cage has diminished. Store at La Defense. I’d be really happy — over the moon, in fact — if...Anticipation an...

TIPA: “Best Prestige Camera” | My DP1
https://mydp1.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/tipa-best-prestige-camera
My quest for the elusive Sigma DP1. TIPA: “Best Prestige Camera”. This year’s European Technical Image Press Award (TIPA) for “ Best Prestige Camera. 8221; went to the Sigma DP1. I don’t know much about TIPA, or how prestigious those awards are. The blurb that accompanies the announcement on the TIPA web site looks like it was lifted right out a Sigma brochure, which gives the impression than TIPA is little more than a marketing trick:.

Lenses: Prime vs. Zoom | My DP1
https://mydp1.wordpress.com/2007/11/15/lenses-prime-vs-zoom
My quest for the elusive Sigma DP1. Lenses: Prime vs. Zoom. One of the contentious features about the DP1 is its 16.6mm (28mm equivalent) prime lens. “Prime” means it is a fixed focal length lens. In other words, no zoom. Yes, it sounds crazy, doesn’t it? Henri Cartier-Bresson using his Leica with a 50mm prime lens (photo by Jane Bown, 1957). If you’ve ever seen a master street photographer at work, you’ll know what I mean. Raising the camera and shooting a photograph is as fast and discr...It’s no...

Their conclusions are pretty much the same ...
