The DP1 was designed for image quality. With its large APS-C sized sensor it delivers high quality pixels with relatively low noise.
The DP1's design also imposed some serious limitations on its lens system, but I have no problem with that.
When IQ is its strongest merit, why is it that Sigma's Photo Pro doesn't allow for color spaces wider than aRGB? Where is ProPhoto RGB for example, or even better, why doesn't the software allow me to choose any other color space?
I'm not trying to start yet another ProPhoto discussion, but it is well establised that our cameras capture colors that lie outside of aRGB and that our printers can print some of those colors.
I'm not advocating the use of wide color spaces for every image, but I would like to make such decisions myself, based on image content. It's also not about preserving those printable out-of-AdobeRGB colors per se, but also about the option to map any out-of-gamut colors into printable space as gradations rather than solid blobs.
These are important considerations IMO when discussing quality and trying to get the most out of the camera.
