[freestyler]

hi, anybody here use Sigma DP1s?
I saw a lot complains about the quality(no the speed and screen quality) on flickr
So just wanna get some user feedback from CSers

Guess every camera have its pros and cons, so the user should know what he really wants to use the camera for.

I am currently using a DP1s, it gave me lots of amazing photo so far.

If u look closely in and BnS here. U will see some photographer who sell it off nearly immediately because it don't suits them. The screen dont look great etc etc etc.

Its good for scenery, Its not that fantastic for events, as the waiting time for the next shot takes a few second.

Its sort of bring the user back the the film era, think twice before u press the shutter.

This camera doesn't suits most people, but those love it will stand by it all the way.
