So, I finally got a chance to go out with the DP1 over the last two days.
I'm still not really sure how I feel about it. The total lack of IS, the incredibly slow responsiveness, and the comically horrible LCD do not make you want to use it..... but, once in a while you'll get a shot that really does blow you away!
I can't tell if this is a psychological effect or the true power of the sensor & glass.
Personally, I think a lot of this has to do with SPP and the way it processes the files. I'm so horrified by the UI on it I'm using LR more and more. I worked out some import settings that seem to mimic the look you get out of SPP.
I'm going to give it one or two more outing before I decide on long term ownership.
