Careful with the politics, guys! The mods will shut us down, and we'll have nowhere to go.
@ivorie , I'll miss your Chicago shots, but I'm looking forward to whatever you find in Florida.
@pinholecam , great Tokyo shot! Isn't it great that the camera you use for the 'quality' shots still fits in the pocket?
@panoguy , boring, yeah, uh-huh. Why don't I believe you?

unbelievable detail shows the oldness of the building.
Awesome shots there! Hong Kong at night looks like a photographer's dream.
I'm happy to see another DP1M shooter on here... but I though you had an RX1?
You must love crazy compacts.

There's the reason why we put up with SPP and all the little inadequacies of these cameras: the end result makes everything worth it. Also, internet wisdom (outside of Sigma's marketing material) indicates that this Foveon sensor gives about double the resolution of a standard sensor, so it's roughly equivalent to a 30MP Bayer sensor.
Still, like you said, it's no K-5. It's great for detail, and weak in other areas, especially shadow noise. As
ivorie pointed out, there's some wiggle room, but it gets real messy real fast if you push it too hard.
Here are some shots from the dog park yesterday with the SD1M and the 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro. The macro function was unnecessary, but it's one of the only two lenses I have. The other is the 12-24mm; no good for shooting dogs.
I neglected to put here collar on before coming to the park, but she likes running around naked (or hanging out in the shade naked, as the case may be).
This is why I don't want a golden retriever: they love the water, even if it's muddy. Skippy only likes mud when we're on hikes, which is fine.
Generally, I don't like small dogs, but I can make an exception for pugs.
I'm working on a dog park calendar for 2014. I wasn't sure what I'd use for the hottest month of the year, but this picture removed all doubt.
