The Sigma DP1 was the world’s first truly full-spec compact digital camera with all the power of a DSLR. It was a camera that satisfied the artist’s need for top image quality and yet was compact enough to take anywhere. This had always been the amateur photographer’s dream.

The concept behind the DP1 – the first-generation model – remains unchanged in the DP1x. The difference is that the DP1x has an integral wide-angle lens equivalent to 28mm in a 35mm camera. This type of lens really comes into its own when shooting landscapes and buildings, where its distinctive perspective can be used to full advantage.

The DP1x has a large sensor (20.7mm x 13.8mm), unusual in a compact – with the benefit of sharper, better image quality, similar to that of a DSLR.

The wide-angle lens is also great for snapshots as it’s less susceptible to camera-shake and allows a greater depth of field. Portraits are another genre you really should try with the wide-angle lens on the DP1x. The telephoto lens is the mainstream choice for this type of shot, so using a wide-angle lens adds a fresh twist right away.
