Sigma DP2s

 

With its revolutionary Foveon X3 sensor, the DP2s promises DSLR-like image quality in a compact camera

Sigma DP2s digital camera

 

Sigma's DP2s is a high-end 14.6-megapixel compact aimed at the enthusiast and updates the original DP2. Improvements have been made but some quirks from its predecessor remain. The Sigma DP2s provides a well made but quirky compact package for the...

Good image quality, bags of detail, robust all-metal design, improved AF system, lens, powerful RAW processor included

Limited sensitivity range, price, no optical viewfinder, underpowered flash, muted colour, quirky menu controls, sluggish handling

The Sigma DP2s provides a well made but quirky compact package for the enthusiast despite it being one that has some slight white balance issues that need addressing, perhaps by a firmware update in the near future?

Sigma DP2s review

 

The Sigma DP2s produces stunning images, but it's a difficult camera to use and is under-featured compared to its competitors.

Sigma DP2s review

 

The Sigma DP2s follows hot on the heels of the DP2, and promises a fantastic image quality and improvements on its predecessor. Does it succeed?

Added highlights to the buttons on the rear of the camera, slight improvement in AF speed, retro design

Very high price-tag, fixed lens not to everyone's taste

SLR-like functions in a compact body When we looked at the Sigma DP1s camera it was impressive and produced high-quality photographs, but we thought it was too complicated to be popular with ...

Sigma DP2s

 

We review the Sigma DP2S - a solid performer which can take excellent images, but is priced perhaps a little too high for most non-professionals

Overall the Sigma DP2s is a solid and good model that takes excellent images however its target audience in the market space is small and will only attract a few photographers

Sigma DP2s Review

 

Sigma's DP2s is a high-end 14.6-megapixel compact aimed at the enthusiast and updates the original DP2. Improvements have been made but some quirks from its predecessor remain. Doug Harman investigates.

Good image quality, bags of detail, robust all-metal design, Improved AF system, Lens, Powerful RAW processor included

Limited sensitivity range, Price, No optical viewfinder, Underpowered flash, Muted colour, Quirky menu controls, Sluggish handling

The superbly sharp and distortion free lens combined with a direct image X3 sensor capable of capturing a stunning amount of detail means that while this camera may not be for everyone, has a few slight issues and looks quite pricey, those that do love...

70-200 mm f/2.8 II EX APO DG Macro HSM

 

too small resolution at the edge of the frame for the range 135-200 mm,, poor cooperation with the original Sigma converter,, chromatic aberration after stopping down reaches large dimensions,, distinct astigmatism

I must admit I’m a little disappointed in what Sigma’s presented. The changes resulted in practically nothing. Here and there something improved, here and there worsened, everywhere slightly, thus making almost no difference in pictures taken with the...

REVIEW—SIGMA DP2S compact camera]

 

This is the latest implementation of the 14 megapixel Foveon sensor technology in a Sigma camera. The Foveon differs from a conventional digital sensor in the way in which it filters and captures the red, green and blue light. For a full description of...

The image quality is generally better than from a conventional compact camera because the sensor area is much larger. Preserved detail, such as hair and skin texture, is superior. Colour is pleasing if a little different from other cameras, rather like...

This is a noisy camera — in the audible rather than the image sense. Every person we have pointed the camera at has commented on the alarming grinding noise of the slow autofocus

The Sigma DP2S is hard to categorise and impossible to compare because of its unique approach to image capture. Making a comparison by price matches it against either a top conventional compact such as the Canon G 11 or one of the Olympus/Panasonic...
