Hi I read this review and after seeing the results of the foveon sensor I’ve been totally in love with the Sigma DP series IQ. Since you’ve had both the DP1 and DP2 varient in your hands, what would you recommand for someone interested in a good all-around that’s capable of taking architecture shots, the 28 or the 40mm version?

Nice to see a reviewer who ‘got’ the DP2. Somehow Sigma’s marketing pitch of ‘SLR performance in a compact body’ was understood as ‘SLR quality images in a point-and-shoot’ by many people. A reviewer at TOP, who seems to be respected by many, didn’t even discuss the awesome DOF control, much less even touch upon it.

I scooped one of these up, though. In the end it was the old-school manual SLR-like control, big, Foveon sensor, and nice glass that won me over.

Once I get a chance to get out with it I plan to post some pics on my blog and write a mini review.

Your take on the dp2 is so correct.
Mine just arrived today and the first images took my breath away.
I was very surprised at the way the camera is built,but man this camera can capture light.

I bought the camera because a review compared it to a contax g2 ,which was the most amaizing film camera I ever owned.

Well the comparison is right on.
The images have depth of field a an amaizing clarity.

This not a camera for most people.
But for photogs looking for texture and images that will excite you this is a great
Camera to add to you camera bag.
