i do believe about $1200-$1400+ sgd??
oo i'm guessing based on the RRP in jp and the market price of amazon n bhp sites.Are you guessing or do you know for sure?
it's in the $800 - $1000 usd range..
from wat i heard, sg's distributor is slightly higher..
i do believe it'll never be below 1k..

that's quite high.. higher than the $1k usd RRP from sigma.. but i guess that's that...
does dealer refer to APD or like cathay?
cause i was talking to sigma earlier, the person there said that don't get it now or anywhere and go check the IT show, cause they having a special price then...
so wondering the $1500 is RRP or the IT show price..
cheers
this is quite amazing too...

didn't felt it was like 320x240 capture... the (lack of) dof does really give it a different feel too.
wished there was a 640x480, can only imagine how it will be.
cheers

Imaging Resource has samples
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/DP1/DP1A7.HTM
Looking at the last set of samples, ISO 100 and ISO 200 are excellent and ISO 400 is quite good. As is typical of a foveon sensor, it has quite high chrominance noise at ISO 800 - have to use some noise reduction software to get rid of it - but after running the NR software, there is still very good detail at ISO 800 - better than most compacts for sure. Again, can still see the green "vignetting" at the image corners.

Pretty bad pricing... considering it's selling for US$800 on b&h - which works out to be about S$1100 considering the falling US$. Guess the IT Show price is RRP, so street price should be less - but doesn't seem so attractive.
Would like to see the DP1 succeed (to reward Sigma and convince other camera manufacturers to stop bringing out a lot of same old copy cat compacts with just more megapixels crammed into the tiny sensors)

Gee... sad. I was thinking a max. of SGD1100 for this cam... sigh... seems like need to wait awhile.
Really hope more makers will join the league.

My favorite dealer told me that he has already placed orders for the DP1 which should be available to him either later this week or next week. Sigma has only bought in 10 units this time round. That's why they are not selling it at the IT Show. Not cheap though at ~$1.6k.
