Just bought a DP1

I also managed to shoot a couple on the Sigma DP2 and the Pentax Kx with a Tokina RMC 25-50mm f/4, the only lens I have with comparable focal length. ISO 50 on the DP2, 200 (the lowest) on the Kx, both on auto wb and spot metering.

The shots are simple, but should be ok to judge dynamic range and colours.

color of the sd14 are far away from the Canon version
I tried to modify the curves of the 5D2 for a foveon look
I could not get the same balance

After a few days of use, I'm really really happy about the SD2: except from the missing viewfinder (but I'll probably find a Voigtlander 40mm finder under my Christmas tree), it's everything I ever looked for in a camera. It's tiny, so it fits in my bag without me even noticing and it's always with me; it shoots RAW; it has a really great lens with a moderately fast aperture; its sensor is as large as a DSLR sensor (it's the same one in the Sigma SD14); it has great colours and a type of image quality I absolutely love; it can be handheld at very low shutter speeds. And Sigma Photo Pro, while somewhat basic, works great.

Here are a couple of pictures shot in the last week: the first one in Paris under a snowstorm, the second in my daughter's cramped classroom this mornign with awful lighting (fluorescent+daylight) and absolutely no space to shoot, especially a loud DSLR. Both images processed in SPP and scaled by Smugmug after uploading.
