More DP1 Photos Released

These are quite good.

However, they were all shot RAW at ISO 100 or 200, then developed in the RAW application. For most people, like me, they're going to want to see what this camera can do in 800 ISO Jpegs. And that is the problem.

If I did a lot more daylight landscapes, this camera would probably be perfect. But to take into concerts or as a replacement for the family party candids, I don't think it will do.

I don't buy into the "sensor wars". I understand the arguments about the Foveon's effective pixels, but the fact is I don't much care. If I could get a 5 megapixel camera with a large sensor, low noise at 1600 ISO, great dynamic range, and a fast lens, it would be perfect.

But from what I've learned about the Foveon on the SD14, noise is a huge issue. And few seem to be shooting JPEG.

RAW is way too much work for my style.
