In Parts 1-4 of the Shootout, I compared to Sigma DP1 performance to that of the Canon 5D with EF 28mm f/2.8 lens and Olympus E-420 with ZD 14-42mm lens at 14mm. The Fuji F31 was the sole compact competitor in those tests and lived up to its reputation for excellent low light performance.

In the upcoming parts, I will test the Sigma DP1 against the Canon Powershot G9 and Leica D-LUX3.
