PMA 2007: Further details of the Sigma DP1, 28mm fixed lens compact digital camera have been announced, and the camera was on display at PMA. Apparently the DP1 has a tentative launch date of Spring 2007, or May/June this year. I’ve published 9 Sigma DP1 photos from the show, which will feature an ISO range of 100-1600 and has an innovative thumb-operated dial for quick manual focusing (shown in the pictures). The matt black buttons of the original DP1 prototype have been replaced by shiny silver versions - I preferred the more sober originals.

Update: I’ve added some photos of the Sigma DP1 with the optional viewfinder attachment, which fits into the flash hotshoe on top of the camera. There’s also a dedicated flashgun with a guide number of 16 (the built-in unit is 6), and apparently you could fit the much larger SD14 flashgun onto the DP1 if you so wished. Availability will be the end of May, with price to be confirmed.
