Love this photo by Ryan Robinson, and his blog.

I wanted to mention David Pogue’s review of the Sigma DP1 over at the NYT (found thanks to The Online Photographer ). I remember being excited at the potential for the DP1 when seeing those early advertisements for it the photo rags, but upon introduction, it is pretty clear this camera has been somewhat of a dissappointment. While it’s clear to me from most reviews that yes, the image quality is good (thanks to that full sized APS-C sensor stuffed and packed in that black body) but no zoom, slow as all get up, and really not cheap ($700-$800). I could go on, but Pogue takes it down to the woodshed here:

But did it have to be such a lame camera? No zoom, no stabilizer, no focus lamp, no optical viewfinder, no live histogram; weak flash, washed-out screen, quarter-size movies, infinite shutter lag, loose lens cap. Hello, Sigma? 1998 called. It wants its camera back.

I’m expecting better from Panasonic’s LX3.
