Firmware and SPP update soon

The light continues it’s dismal spring absence. This is a late afternoon image taken during a short business trip last week, the area behind the hotel parking lot.

In the image you can see a fair amount of chromatic aberration in the small branches against the sky. Not as bad as my standard Nikon 24mm f/2.8 on the D80, but noticeable in a big enough print.

By the end of the week we’ll have an update to the DP1 and RAW processing software that is said to help the green vignette issue. It’s great to see Sigma responding quickly, but it remains odd to me that the camera shipped with such a glaring problem that was fixed a few weeks later.

As many compact camera owners find, a high percentage of total photographic output comes from the compact because it’s the camera that’s available most of the time. On my upcoming business trip to Europe it will be the DP1 that goes along, not the Leica / Film kit or, as last time the D300 DSLR with 24mm lens kiit.
