SIGMA DP1 Compact Digital Camera with All the Power DSLR

Short Description
Photography: what other field has so many terms for failure? Photos can fail by being out of focus. Or due to camera-shake. Or because of underexposure, or over-exposure, or a million other things. The evolution of the camera has been, essentially, a fight against photographic failure. Thanks to all this failure-averse technological development, today’s highly-evolved digital cameras are almost failure-proof: anyone can take a decent photo with no effort at all.

We made sure the camera’s own image processing doesn’t tinker too much with the tone when the data is processed. This way, the light captured by the lens is converted faithfully into image signal. These are the ideals behind the DP1’s approach to making pictures.
