Very sharp lens. APS-C Foveon image sensor. 45mm field of view. Sharp rear LCD. Improved JPG engine.

Cumbersome Raw workflow. No HD video support. No EVF option. Lens is a little slow for a 45mm design.

The 3-inch rear display packs a 920k-dot resolution. It's sharp and gives you a good idea about the quality of the images you are capturing. The display is just as sharp as the 1.2-million-dot display on the Ricoh GR, but it's not as bright; that...

Excellent levels of detail in ISO 100 images (irrespective of pixel count) Dynamic range comparable with its peers Good lens with only minimal distortion and little chromatic aberration Attractive minimalist styling Good build quality Greatly improved...

Sluggish performance Desaturated and 'flat' JPEG output Unreliable White Balance Green and magenta tints to parts of many images Continuous mode only allows four shots per burst (three in RAW) Auto Focus struggles in low light (and there is no AF help...

The DP1 was a difficult camera to review - resolutely niche in its outlook, it was a brave, if not wholly successful, attempt to do something that no large manufacturer seemed willing to risk. We tried to give Sigma credit for taking that risk and...

Excellent construction ; Great design and layout ; Image fine detail

Limiting lens ; Not great value for money ; Some sluggish performance issues

The Foveon sensor's design means that although the DP2's images have only 4.7 million pixels, the detail is fantastically sharp. Old-schoolers won't mind the fixed focal length lens and hands-on control, but the autofocus and image processing need to...

Beautiful D-SLR-quality images. Smaller build than a D-SLR. Fast, high-quality f/2.8 lens. Unique Foveon X3 image processor.

No optical zoom. Lens is not interchangeable. No face detection. Noticeable shutter lag. Low still image and video resolutions. Small LCD. ISO 1600 and 3200 are only available when shooting in RAW format. Noticeable noise above ISO 1600.

SLR quality in a point-and-shoot form ; Excellent image quality ; Can easily isolate subjects with shallow depth of field ; Solid camera construction

Mediocre LCD ; Sigma's raw processing software is limited and clunky ; Images shot above ISO 800 are overly noisy ; Slow focus ; Very limited third-party support for Sigma raw files

Excellent lens, wealth of hands-on control, works best when attempting images with a shallow depth of field

Expensive, variable white balance if left in auto mode, washed out de-saturated colours, plasticky feel to build, occasional operational freezes

Because of the limitations of a fixed lens (as opposed to a zoom), using the DP2 over a period of time begins to change the way that you shoot. The only "zoom" option you have is simply to take a few steps forward, so framing is more considered, you...

The Sigma DP2 is one of a kind and produces strong at images with shallow depth of field. Is it for you? Well, consider this: the Sigma DP2 is pricey, has a confusing menu system, freezes up on occasion, has an unresponsive autofocus and a stiff...
