A New Lineage in Digital Cameras

Equipment for delving into the 
essence of photography

The business of taking photos boils 
down to the skill of the photographer. 
The photograph is the canvas for 
the photographer's individual self-
expression. Sigma creates equipment 
for delving into the essence of 
photography. Sigma's design policy 
is to empower the photographer to 
concentrate on the core task: taking 
pictures. Our top priority is to deliver 
the functionality and reliability this 
requires. In packing in extra features, 
we've been generous to a fault. 
We've designed the user interface to 
be user-friendly and intuitive, 
and we've ramped up the portability 
and durability. In other words, we've 
made sure the DP1 is easy to carry 
around, anytime, anywhere.

Breaking through old categories, 
to new horizons

Simple yet distinctive, its compact 
body will draw admiring glances. 
Packed into a neatly pocket-sized 
package, its DSLR-level functionality 
is bound to amaze. And that's not 
all. The DP1 does away with the old 
DSLR-versus-compact distinction 
that cramped photographers' style 
more than they ever knew. 
It offers more artistic freedom, 
and new horizons in photographic 
expression, making them far more 
accessible than ever before.

The camera that sets the gold 
standard for photos. The camera 
that sets the stage for the next 
generation of digital cameras. 
That would be the DP1.

ACCESSORIES

VIEW FINDER : VF-11

This optical viewfinder mounts on the 
camera's hot shoe.  It allows framing of the 
image without using the LCD monitor.

ELECTRONIC FLASH : EF-140 DG

With a maximum Guide Number of 14 
(ISO100/m), this dedicated external flash is 2.3 
times brighter than the camera's built-in flash.
