"I bought this camera sight-unseen based on numerous reviews and sample images I'd seen online. The first thing that struck me when I opened the box was how small it really is.

"So far I have been using DP2 for several weeks. Here are my impressions:

"After seeing the DP2 image quality on various online reviews I knew that I had to give it a try--even though all the reviews also gave it mediocre ratings.

"Landscape, street, you name it. If you can adapt to this camera it will reward you with outstanding images. I print routinely 12x18 inch prints with Genuine Fractals. Amazingly sharp images. Sensor gets sharper with use. All the foibles you have read about are true. Slow buffer, but not bad. …"  Read Full Review »
