Sounds like the SD14 is a bit like the DP1 - quirky but with the ability to deliver in the right circumstances.

I think brand new babies rarely look good photographed alone. Prefer to see a parent in shot. Strawman's advice is spot on re the camera and lenses.

I'm also looking forward to this one. Phil.

Sigma 14MPix = 14 / 3 right to get the max resolution?

I'm also curious about the DP1. If it is a good camera, and the lense / sensor work well together, and they get the price right, then I think they could have a winner. Looks like it could be a competitor for the Ricoh GR1D. I saw a suggested US price of a around $1,000 for the DP1. I think in the UK it would have to sell for below £400 to have a chance.

Just because you pressed the shutter release doesn't mean that you created the photograph. I could set up a complex image and let my 4 yr old daughter press the shutter release - does this make her a good photographer? That makes her a good daughter. :o)

Welcome Øyvind to a great "club" many great photo's can be seen here, not mention great photographers. Bernard

LOL...last month Not chased it up...

Thanks Cambirder, that's a really generous offer. Sadly, the 5D is out of my range. Maybe when I get something in a while (I'm not going to rush into it and make a mistake) we could meet up and compare? Best wishes, David
