"I love the size and weight of the DP2 and its image quality. The Sigma Studio Pro software (which I find very easy to use although it takes a bit to get used to) coaxes the most out of their RAW format and I love the results. There's an indefinable quality about the Foveon sensor output. Maybe it's …"  Read Full Review »

"Ok first of all, this is not your typical point-and-shoot digital camera. This camera can produce images that can put full-frame DSLR to a shame, but you should know what you're doing and work around the limitations. If you're looking for a high-end point-and-shoot for your family, then please go lo …"  Read Full Review »

"1) Size wise, it is very close to the size of the Lx3. The lens protrudes a bit further and the body it is only very slightly larger.2) When you turn it on, the lens appears huge! Kind of like that of the G9 when zoomed.3) The manual focus wheel is awesome.4) Bokeh is amazing (quality of the out of …"  Read Full Review »
