The Sigma DP1 was a high-end compact digital camera introduced by the Sigma Corporation. It featured a 14-megapixel Foveon X3 sensor (2652 × 1768 × 3 layers), a fixed 16.6 mm F4.0 lens (28mm equivalent), a 2.5” LCD and a pop-up flash. It was the first "compact" camera that featured an APS-C sized sensor, a feature that Sigma claimed would result in DSLR quality images from a small, pocketable camera.
It was first announced on September 26, 2006, and after several production delays was delivered in the spring of 2008. A follow-up camera, the Sigma DP2, was released in 2009; it features a different lens, and they are being sold in parallel. An improved version called DP1S was announced on November 17, 2009.
Reviews
It has been praised for innovation (large sensor in compact body) and class-leading detail at ISO 100 – best image quality in a compact camera, in the same class as DSLRs,
and suited for daylight landscape and architecture photography – but criticized for poor low-light performance and slow speed, summarized as "a great concept that needs a considerable amount of additional work". The user interface has also been criticized.
The Sigma is an experimental glider developed in Britain from 1966 by a team led by Nicholas Goodhart. After disappointing performance during flight testing the Sigma was passed on to a Canadian group which carried out modifications, making the Sigma more competitive.
Design and development
Designed to compete in the 1970 World Championships, the team aimed to develop a wing that would climb well through a high lift coefficient and a large wing area, but equally had the "maximum possible reduction of area for cruise at low lift coefficients". At the same time for the minimum possible drag they aimed for "extensive" laminar flow. To achieve this they employed flaps that would alter both wing area and wing camber. Based on analysis of the nature of thermals encountered in cross-country flying, they reasoned that by having a slow turning circle, their sailplane could stay close to the central (and strongest) part of the thermal and gain maximum benefit.
Its unusual feature is its ability to vary its wing area using Fowler flaps. It had been tried before by the Hannover Akaflieg in 1938 with their AFH-4, the South African Beatty-Johl BJ-2 Assegai and the SZD Zefir gliders.
In the late 1990s the NUKER experts had made observations with a spectroscope of two galaxies, one of an active galaxy with an active galactic nucleus called NGC10-68 and a dormant galaxy next door to us named Andromeda.
The observations are shown. The light from the centre in Andromeda galaxy was distorted proving the existence of super-massive black holes.
Other observations proved most galaxies had a similar centre whether it be active or dormant.
They then realised that the black holes must have something to do with a galaxy's formation, so they turned to something they thought was useless: the speed of the stars around the edge of the galaxy. This was Sigma, the speed of the stars at the edge of the galaxy supposedly unaffected by the mass of the black hole at the centre.
Usage In Cosmology
The NUKER team calculated the sigma of several stars in different galaxies and the mass of the black hole at the (nucleus) centre. They expected no correlation what so ever. But when plotting their results on a Scatter diagram and drawing a line of best fit they ended up with a positive correlation. It appeared that the heavier the black hole at the centre was the faster the stars within the galaxy travelled.
Sigma is an English drum and bass duo consisting of Cameron Edwards and Joe Lenzie. They met at Leeds University at drum and bass nights. Their 2010 collaboration with DJ Fresh, "Lassitude", peaked at number 98 on the UK Singles Chart. Their single "Nobody to Love" topped the UK Singles Chart, becoming their first UK number one. Follow-up single "Changing", featuring Paloma Faith, also got to number one.
Career
Formation
Lenzie and Edwards met in 2006 at Leeds University; Cameron was working in local record store Tribe Records and with Echo Location's Obi running local night Event Horizon, while Lenzie was DJing hip-hop and warming up Event Horizon for such acts as Rahzel and Grandmaster Flash. Once they had finished in Leeds, they relocated to London and became a three-piece with Edwards' school friend Ben Mauerhoff, being signed under DJ Fresh's Breakbeat Kaos. After a while, long distances took their toll– Edwards and Mauerhoff were based in Surrey, whereas Lenzie was based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire and they couldn't get three people into the Harpenden studio– and Mauerhoff left. In December 2008 they formed their own record label, Life Recordings (so called because, according to Lenzie, the industry demanded that it be their life). Its inaugural release was a VIP mix of their early Bingo Beats single "El Presidente".
Review - The Cheapest Premium Camera I Could Find! - Sigma DP1 ($28)
I often get asked to recommend affordable gear. And the cheaper the better. So I set out to try and find a nice premium camera for less than $50.
And also test if its any good.
Please Note: The pictures might be around 14mp of resolution, but they are only the size of a 5mp. So after youtubes compression and blowing it up on a full screen.... you get the idea.
Also, I've added grain to several of them in post.

Hands on with the Sigma DP1 classic.
Did you know that Sigma makes cameras? Probably now after the FP has been released. It seems as though these old foveon sensors get glazed over and forgotten by the masses but still hold quite the cult following.
I've taken the Sigma Dp1 (classic, not Merrill) out for some shots and here are my thoughts on it. It's colors are amazing, and it's an incredible value for the price as you can find them for sub 200 dollars USD!

Did you know that Sigma makes cameras? Probably now after the FP has been released. It seems as though these old foveon sensors get glazed over and forgotten by the masses but still hold quite the cult following.
I've taken the Sigma Dp1 (classic, not Merrill) out for some shots and here are my thoughts on it. It's colors are amazing, and it's an incredible value for the price as you can find them for sub 200 dollars USD! The files are flexible and the size is easy for any computer these days to digest, while still being usable for prints. I'd leave a link for a camera like this, but the availability changes all the time, and your best bet is to scrounge Ebay unfortunately .

This is not about the best camera. Nor my all time favorite. This is just the answer to a question I get all the time. "What if I could only pick one camera?"

The Sigmas DP 1/2/3 Merrill were dedicated APS-C cameras bringing a Foveon X3 imager to the masses, with novelty colors and detail reproduction.

I wanted to see what the hype was about and spent some money on an older Sigma Foveon compact camera (DP1S). If you're curious about the pros/cons and image output of this camera, this video is for you!

The Ultimate Review Site
Review of the Sigma DP1 Camera. Alarge sensor compact camera frompopular lens manufacturer Sigma . The foveon sensor and superb quality lens produce some stunning quality images.
The Sigma DP1 was a high-end compact digital camera introduced by the Sigma Corporation. It featured a 14-megapixel Foveon X3 sensor (2652 × 1768 × 3 layers), a fixed 16.6 mm F4.0 lens (28mm equivalent), a 2.5” LCD and a pop-up flash. It was the first "compact" camera that featured an APS-C sized sensor, a feature that Sigma claimed would result in DSLR quality images from a small, pocketable camera.
It was first announced on September 26, 2006, and after several production delays was delivered in the spring of 2008. A follow-up camera, the Sigma DP2, was released in 2009; it features a different lens, and they are being sold in parallel. An improved version called DP1S was announced on November 17, 2009.
Reviews
It has been praised for innovation (large sensor in compact body) and class-leading detail at ISO 100 – best image quality in a compact camera, in the same class as DSLRs,
and suited for daylight landscape and architecture photography – but criticized for poor low-light performance and slow speed, summarized as "a great concept that needs a considerable amount of additional work". The user interface has also been criticized.

"We mocked up the kind of camera we all thought we'd like, using the flip-up screen from a Sony DSLR, the lens of a Sigma DP1 and some of the styling of my 1970sOlympus 35RC rangefinder."
The Sigma DP1 wasn't the first fixed-lens camera to include an APS-C sensor (that was the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-R1) – and there's a question mark over whether Sigma's 1.7x sensors should be considered ...

The scene was also very difficult to shoot with short focal lengths, and I wish I could find the photo of Lars with half of his body inside the test scene box, carefully trying to align the Sigma DP1, inches away from the targets ...The end - Mar 2023 ... .
