Comments on: Sigma DP-1 Review http://www.nikonwatch.com/2008/05/20/sigma-dp-1-review/ Helping you figure out WTF Nikon's doing... D700x? D4? Rangefinder?

The DP-1 has a sensor that is 20.7x13.8 mm. The Nikon DX format is 23.6x15.8mm making the DP1 76.6% of the DX area. The DP-1 sensor is only 33.2% of FX. The DX is 43.3% of FX. And the Leica M8 is 27x18mm or 30% larger than Nikon DX and 56.5% of FX. And sure..a DP1 type camera from Nikon with a decent, but physically small zoom and a DX sensor - I'd probably go for it if the image quality was as good as a D70 or better. I get tired dragging around my camera bag. Right. The DP-1 has a sensor that is 20.7×13.8 mm. The Nikon DX format is 23.6×15.8mm making the DP1 76.6% of the DX area.
