Sigma DP1
I just got my hands on Sigma DP1. I have to get me a SD memory card, that I forgot to ask for. And fill the battery. Then I’m all set to get busy. It seems like it’s going to be a busy tech testing week, I’ll probably get Canon 1Ds mkIII tomorrow, Canon 450D 18-55 IS kit on thursday and hopefully another nice lens to complement both bodies. This is what the kit with a couple of optional accessories looks like (I got a viewfinder and hood adapter as well):
Stay tuned, I’ll get more stuff to test next week.
EDIT 22h: Photos can be enlarged when clicked and the compression is not optimal, because my photo upload interface messed up, when WP was upgraded and I had to use the lousy original WP interface. The error will be corrected when Lucifix will find the time to fix it
.
EDIT2: Problem has been resolved. You can now click on the thumbs to check it in LARGER version. Luc ur tha man!

Why would you use external finder if it has live view?
Cant wait for further impressions

I’m not sure. I guess some people can find use for it, otherwise it wouldn’t be available.
But you’re right, I also asked myself why would I use it, especially because there’s no info visible like on DSLR viewfinders.
The only reason that I can remember (for using it) is that you get a more steady grip, to avoid handshake etc.

I like photography, but I’m not a professional. I’ll wait to know the result of your testing week.
