Re: DP1 vs E-P1 again
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
like everybody, i love these equipment discussions! it looks like the ep1 a great street camera. the dp1, for me, is really medium format, slow to use but with incredible detail. (the dp1 has a larger sensor and one-third the pixel density of the ep1. this is bound to make a difference.)
usability vs. iq still the big issue. the richoh gx100 has the finest setup (and if i had the gx200 with a better lcd and very fast raw write times, i'd feel even better). yet the pictures will have a rougher quality, the sensor one-third the size of the dp1.
a great deal today, on the ep1 and lenses at fred miranda. i just have to remember how digital cameras fall in value unless they've the leica name on them. so, resisting the temptation, but i'd love to try the ep1.

ps. i just went to dpreview to make sure i had the pixel density info correct:
canon 5dII - 2.4
canon 1dsIII - 2.4
leica m8.2 - 2.1
nikon d3x - 2.8
olympus ep1 - 5.1
and the winner is the sigma dp1 - 1.6
