The Sigma DP1 digital compact camera was tested out by Camera Labs and as expected the reviewer gave the DP1 a thumbs up. A compact camera with a DSLR sensor, the DP1 produces detailed images and has a sharp lens which performs.
However according to the reviewer, the DP1 isn't a low light camera and offer only a maximum ISO setting of 800. The camera also has a tendency to produce image noise and the QVGA movie mode disappointing.
Verdict:
"The Sigma DP1 is certainly a unique camera and once again achieves the important goal of equipping a compact body with a DSLR-sized sensor. Use the camera in the right conditions and it really shines, delivering images with an astonishing degree of detail and sharpness across the entire frame."

Carl Rytterfalk Fotografi reviewed the Sigma AML-1 close up lens and even posted a video review, which we recommend watching. The close up lens works great with the DP1 and the lens was found to be bright too. While the lens does suffer from slight negative distortion in corners, overall it manages to impress.
Excerpt from conclusion:
"For movies and portraits such as the ones above it's a wonderful solution and gives you new views - plus that the extreme OOF is perfect for videos."
