I have the same case as "balls187". We are too spoiled by the 5D2. Hardly find a lighter and smaller with similar quality. I am considering Olympus 620 with pancake lens, or the coming up Olympus Pen series. The DP1 & 2 are faster than typical DC but......not that much. Cant compare with DSLR. It is just the class difference. To me: it is a compact DC with DSLR sensor. I wonder if 1 day every compact DC with big sensor. Just like the old day, every camera with film (full film)

You cannot compare the snappiness of the DP2 to a DSLR… the PD2 is faster than you average point & shoot but don’t expect too much here neither

Thanks for the review.

I’ve been eyeing this camera, because I want a smaller cam to compliment by 5D2.

I’m curious about the response time. Did it feel laggy like most compact cameras or did it have a snappiness typically found in modern DSLRS?

Excited about the low-light possibilities with this.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the good review!!

I just try both in yodobashi. I personally prefer DP1′s 28mm lens. Also, I expect it offer everything better with this price tag. The LCD is just so so in quality. I guess a big portion of price we pay to the big sensor.

GRD seems a better choice.
