Sigma DP2 Camera Review: Boing Boing Gadgets

Joel Johnson writes over at Boing Boing Gadgets:

Should you buy the Sigma DP2? Only if you're in love with the sensor. While it's definitely a better choice than its predecessor and is not without its manual charms, its high price puts it in range of DSLRs and other cameras that come without as many limitations.
Looking through a glass viewfinder is such a treat, though—too bad it doesn't seem to actually line up very well with the actual pictures.

Join the discussion on this video over at Boing Boing Gadgets, where Joel has also uploaded a slideshow of unretouched images from the DP2!

Yes. Most photographers do want to take "pretty" pictures. Keep your day job.

waaaah waaaaah he's not a Sigma fanboy. Know this is a bit late; but get over it. Wait till you see what actual protogs say about the $10k crop sensor SD1.

What is this? The video is so bad. It shows you have no knowledge of photography.

I wonder how many people this dope scared away from this revolutionary technology... Can't wait to see the one where he creams himself over the Leica or Fujifilm versions of the same camera.
