Sigma DP1

Not content to challenge the leading pocket shooters on their own terms, the Sigma DP1 ($1090) is more of a dSLR in a compact body. It uses the same full-sized, 14 megapixel Foveon X3 image sensor found in Sigma's SD14 dSLR, and for fans of prime lenses, its 16.6mm F4 lens is equivalent to a standard 28mm offering, providing low distortion, high contrast images. Support for RAW, the "TRUE" image processing engine, manual focus, and more make this the ideal pocket cam for old-school photography enthusiasts. [Thanks, Patrick]
