Sigma has released a new firmware update for its popular compact digital camera with APS-C sized image sensor: DP1

With the new firmware, DP1 now can shoot at ISO 50 which promises noise free images with very high detail level. This is good news for landscape photographers, on the other hand Sigma notes that ISO 50 on DP1has a narrow dynamic range compared to ISO 100 and above settings and therefore may blow out highlight detail such as brightness or high saturation areas. This means photographers need to work a bit more carefully especially during metering.

List of the improvements with Firmware Version 1.2:

• ISO 50 has been added into the ISO setting
• Grid Display mode shows Display Icons
• Shorten the pre-flash time in the Red-eye reduction flash mode

Where to Buy Sigma DP1:

I recommend buying Sigma DP1 from Amazon or B&H Photo. These two vendors are very reliable and generally have the best prices.
