To save yourself from a lot of frustration: Set the SD15 to RAW and color mode Neutral immediately. The SD15 only shows correct exposure in the preview JPEG if you shoot Neutral, so if you want to...

It looks like there's lens flare, making much of the photo hazy. A lens hood can prevent the sun from hitting the lens directly - unless you choose to include the sun in the frame, obviously.

Well... Sigma charges about the same for a 30mm f/2.8. But that's including the DP2M body ;-)

My camera's true base ISO is 200. I still often shoot at ISO 100, trading highlight recovery for cleaner shadows. It all depends on your goal, but I agree that shooting at base ISO is easier, at...

Actually, the quick preview shows within a second, but you cannot zoom in on detail until the file has been processed and saved. Write time is about 3 seconds for RAW+JPEG with a fast card, it's...

I haven't seen this from my DP2M or DP3M. I would reset the camera (rightmost menu) and see if it happens again. Every computer (well, camera) can get confused once, but if it happens repeatedly I...

I'm pretty sure your camera is only half-way updated to 1.04, so it can have any firmware below that. 1.04 upgrade requires the installation of *two* files from the SD card as explained...

Depends on when you went to bed ;-) Great shot!

Since I couldn't choose, I got both the DP2M and the DP3M. I prefer the focal length of the DP2M, but it's easier to get good results from the DP3M. I don't know if this is because it's a newer...

Or simply an image downsampled to nearest neighbour in order to make it look more like a Foveon, which may well have been the point when preparing such a comparison...

Good thing you didn't buy it so we don't need to hear your complaints about them, then ;-) In reality many of us have these cameras for years without seeing this flare unless we deliberately test...

I think they're guessing ;-) Sigma first launched the DP1 (28mm eq) followed by the DP2 (41mm eq) and they have later been replaced by DP1M (28mm eq) and DP2M (45mm eq). Judging from forums and...

Not exactly. Two lenses with the same framing at the same distance will give the same perspective (given by the distance) and therefore same "flattening". Perfectly equivalent lenses will give the...

The DP2M has a near normal field of view, so if you look at the image from the same distance as the diagonal of the image (on your screen or print), you will see the same perspective as if you were...

How about a live view only model with contrast-detect AF for all M mount lenses by moving the sensor plane?

If Contax AX could move the entire film plane quickly enough, surely it must be easy to...

A guess from someone else (but I've had a SD15 and have a DP2M) :-) The DP2M photos are labeled ISO 200 and if they also were a bit underexposed to start with, then that can explain the difference...

If it's 1 meter, why insist on archaic units on a tech site? Or if you do, go all the way, it's 3 feet 3 inches 370 thou.

AFAIK, the camera/SPP creates ISO 100 by overexposing ISO 200 with one stop and then pulling back digitally. When you do the same in reverse, it only brings you back to the same position that ISO...

Why the extra storage is expensive: Because storage *is* expensive. They don't expect the average user to get anywhere near the 1TB limit, so the first TB is cheap for Yahoo!, the next is not.

Check with your dealer, we got the cashback offer in Norway too, so it's more than a couple of countries involved :-)
