Sigma Announce DP1 Full Spec Compact

The DP1 has the same 14 megapixel FOVEON X3, APS-C sized image sensor which is used in their SD14 DSLR. It also has hot-shoe for attaching a dedicated external flash and new external viewfinder. It also has a 2.5-inch, 230k pixel resolution LCD monitor, CF slot, and is described by Sigma, as the "world's first full-spec compact.." If it perform like other foveon based cameras, I just might consider this as a replacement for my point and shoot Canon IXUS 750.

Sigma SD14 Retail Debut Announced

Sigma announced that their new SD14 digital SLR will start shipping on the 6th of March. The SD14 was originally supposed to go on the market in November or December of last year, however several issues pushed the date back. I'm eager to see what this new offering from Sigma and Foveon can actually deliver. The 14 Megapixel X3® direct-image-sensor promise to deliver some excellent results.
