I just got DP1M this week and couldn't wait to take photos with it. I know it's mostly a landscape 100 ISO camera but I just had to take it with me to the auto show and see what it could with poor lighting.

WOW, at what ISO? They look great.
Thank you, Sir. All four photos above were taken at ISO 100 or 200.
I took the Ricoh GR (16.2 MP Version 1) last year to the auto show and had not even one photo turn out great! It might have been user error as the GR has quite a lot of options on how to set it up and 99% of the time I use it outside, I've had it for over five years so I thought I knew all about it.
So this year when I took the DP1M I wasn't expecting much as far as results but was blown away when I viewed them on my computer! I thought that I was going to have to shoot at high ISO, like 800-1600 but I got lucky as far as the shutter speed goes since the DP1M has a wide angle lens I was able to chose a much slower shutter than on my DP3M.
I was at the auto show for about six hours but only took about a dozen photos because:
I tried to get photos of only cars with no people in the shot
A lot of the car platforms that weren't crowded were rotating and due to lack of light and slow shutter speed photos came out blurry
I'm including some more photos from the car show (ISO 100 and 200).
By the way I thought the KIA Stinger was going to be a game changer until I saw the price tag, almost $52K for a totally loaded one.
