Sigma DP1

PopPhoto.com tests the Sigma DP1.

"The DP1 sets a new standard for image quality in a compact camera, especially at ISO 400 and 800. Its fixed 28mm-equivalent f/4 lens has incredibly low distortion and minimal light falloff that adds to image quality"

The downside? Looks to be slow AF and poor lowlight ability (slow lens, and no image stabilization to compensate) and that it'll set you back $800.

Perfect Compact?

Still on the trail of the perfect compact and, based on dpreview, it looks like the R8 isn't quite it. Looks like low light and image processing/noise are weak spots.
