In old film days I had a Nikon 801s and Nikon lenses and never had a problem with it. My other cameras where 6x7 and 6x9 medium format from Linhof, Fuji and Mamiya and also never had a problem with...

+1 for PhotoNinja

"I just wonder what Nikon is doing?" This is what I ask myself. I had backfocusing problems with my D70, banding with my D200. Both had to be sent in to Nikon to be repaired under warranty.  Since...

I used to shoot a Linhof Technika (6x7), Fuji GSW 690 (6x9) and Mamiya 7II (6x7) in the past. Mostly with Fuji Velvia. Landscapes and architecture. I am deeply impressed by the Sigma DP2M. The...

Nick, The DP1M and DP2M are now $ 799 / € 615 as special at B&H. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/878793-REG/Sigma_c78900_DP2_Merrill_Compact_Digital.html I wonder whether Sigma will bring out...

You should do fine with a an Intel I7, 16GB RAM would be helpful. You can always buy more RAM later. I paid only about €80 at amazon for 16GB RAM to upgrade my Dell Notebook. But check that these...

IMHO the lens attached to the Sigma DP2M. It is a 30mm 2.8. The lens is optimzed for the sensor.  Incredible combo.

I get the best results by only using spp for basic raw conversion and optimize the files with the new clarity tool from topazlabs. It works very well with sigma tif's, does not produce artifacts...

My DP2M raws are about 60MB I cannot imagine how big a Foveon based 645 raw would be. :)

I have used it now for a few days, and have to say is is one of the best topaz plugins. The user interface is greatly improved with very good masking capabilities and presets. Perfect tool to work...

The lenses are optimized for the sensor. I have seen an technical image of the DP2M where the lens nearly seats on the sensor. You cannot do this with an exchangeable lens.  The DP2M sensor/lens...

I own a DP2M. It is a great all-round focal length. For WA i can always use panos. Althoug I love a lite tele lens for landscapes I prefer the greater DOF of the DP2M. No need to get into smaller...

I have a DP2M and this badly flawed first implementation does produce incredible images, perfect for landscape, travel and architecure.
A new sensor technology is long overdue, and I applaud...

I think their product portfolio gets too cluttered. I would prefer them to improve their existing products, especially photoFXlab.  It might be the price of free updates. They only can generate...

I think it is good news to see more new sensor technologies outside the Bayer world. I puts some pressure on software developers to get used to new demosaicing algorithms. That was the main problem...

Topazlabs Denoise (free updates), Nik/Googles Define (a little bit outdated), and NoiseNinja. NoiseNinja3 is now an integrated part of PhotoNinja a new and excellent raw developer. You can download...

Even when they would give away the first year for 99cents, it does not change the fact that Adobe locks in your files. They can charge whatever they want in the future. Try opening an CC PS7 file...

You can extend the live cycle of outdated PS versions with plugins. Use the PhotoNinja plugin instead of ACR when your new camera isn't supported anymore. PhotoNinja as raw converter is worlds...
