The technical reviews published by sites such as DC Resource and DPReview are painstakingly prepared, important resources. However, nothing can replace the insights that an experienced photographer brings to the evaluation of a new photographic tool. Today, those of us interested in compact cameras in general, and the DP1 in particular, are fortunate to have two such reports. Michael Reichmann of The Luminous Landscape and Sean Reid of Reid Reviews have published their DP1 impressions.
Michael Reichmann's review of the DP1, titled "Sigma DP1 - A Compact Conundrum", contains comparisons between the DP1, the Canon G9, and the Ricoh GX100. It can be found here.
Sean Reid's DP1 review is taking place in stages. Part One compares the functionalities of the Sigma and the GRD2, whereas Part Two will include comparisons with the GRD2 and M8. Sean's reviews are available to paying subscribers at Reid Reviews.

After a quick read of Michael Reichmann's text on the DP1 I am assured that I made the right choice in favoring the GRD2 over the DP1. For me, image quality isn't everything, practicality and usability are also important. I'm sure that in the next 2 years a superior APS-C compact will be introduced. Which brand? Panasonic/Leica, Olympus, Canon, Nikon? I'll place my bet on a Four-Thirds Panasonic LX3 to be the first DP1 challenger.

well, don't forget Fujifilm!
in fact, my dream camera would be a
Fuji compact with the handling of the GRD2!
On DPreview I have seen speculation concerning an upcoming Fujifilm F110fd - with image quality as good as F100fd but with full manual controls.
This might not rival DP1 but perhaps come surprisingly close to it!
