Sigma DP1 high-end compact digital camera equipped with 14 megapixel, large direct image sensor.

• 14 megapixel direct image sensor as used in the Sigma SD14 digital SLR.
• Featuring Sigma’s new, unique ‘True’ image processing engine.

The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the new, groundbreaking Sigma DP1 compact digital camera featuring a 14 megapixel FOVEON X3 direct image sensor (2652 × 1768 × 3 layers) as used in the Sigma SD14 digital SLR. The image sensor uses three silicon embedded layers of photo sensors, stacked to take advantage of silicon’s ability to absorb red, green and blue light at different respective depths.

A 16.6mm F4 Sigma lens, with a wide angle field of view equivalent to 28mm on a 35mm film camera, has been developed to maximize the image quality in conjunction with the full colour capture image sensor.

The DP1 takes advantage of the image sensor’s superior technology to capture accurate, full colour image information.
