New firmware update for DP3M now available.
Firmware version 1.01 for the DP3M brings compatibility with Sigma’s Macro Flash EM-140 DG SA-STTL. It also corrects the phenomenon that the shutter speed value in the display is not stable when there is an object with high brightness in the image.

In addition, SPP has also been updated to ver 5.5.1 to correct for bugs introduced in ver. 5.5

SIGMA Photo Pro 5.5.1

• Offers improved stability of the software performance.
• Adds the lens information of 30mm F1.4 DC HSM.
• Corrects the phenomenon that banding noise is found if the output image size is set at x2 to save the image after using the film grain function in the monochrome process.
• Corrects the phenomenon that streaky noise is occasionally seen in a part of the image.
• Corrects the phenomenon that it occasionally freezes after deleting an image in the review window.
• Corrects the phenomenon that the image displayed in the monochrome process shows different colors from the image saved.

Which shop selling $1200?

Seriously, as this is a newly launched camera, I don't think that you would be able to find any shop that would sell the DP3M brand new at this price. In a couple of years maybe.

 

[Skyways]

Saw one selling... Below that but... When I return after dinner, The shop close Liao...

 

[KennyYip]

Just got it at $1250

 

[Skyways]

Does it come with extra bat or anything ?

 

[KennyYip]

Standard Package includes 2 batt.

Now wondering where to get the LH3-01 Hood and also a case or grip for it?

 

[Skyways]

Didn't your DP3M come with a free flash?

Yes it comes with but looking for a flash that can perform bounce and TTL mode with DP3M. Any recommendation?

Only flash with TTL mode and bounce is the Sigma EF-610 DG Super or EF-610 DG ST for Sigma mount.

Where to get it and how much is it?

Don't think you can buy any off the shelf anywhere in Singapore. But you can place an order with Parisilk Holland Village and get it in a couple of days if Sigma Singapore has stock. The more expensive EF-610 DG Super should cost a little more than $400.

Thanks for your info. Indoor Night shot is always tricky without flash.

Hope to get the flash soon
