14 DAY TRIAL // Since being first to market with a large sensor, prime lens compact hasn’t helped Sigma all that much, the outfit has now returned with two new DP-series cameras that take things one step further.
While from the outside the DP1M and DP2M don’t look all that special, deep inside their compact bodies Sigma installed a 15x3MP APS-C Foveon image sensor, the same sensor used for the company’s flagship camera, the SD1 DSLR.
Together with the new sensor, the two DP-series cameras also feature totally redesigned lenses, with the DP1M including a 19mm F2.8 lens (28mm equivalent) and the DP2M having a 30mm F2.8 lens to give a 45mm equivalent field-of-view.
Other features include RAW and JPEG recording, a Flash hotshoe, and a 3-inch LCD screen with 920,000 pixel resolution. No info regarding pricing and availability was released so far.
