Sigma DP2 review

I am just an 'average guy' that wants to take a decent photo once in a while. I've had the DP2 for about two weeks now, and glanced through the user manual. Without trying, this camera takes the best digital photos I've ever taken, on a consistent basis. Is every shot a winner, no, but my rate of 'keepers' is much higher than any other digital camera (point and shoots) I have owned (Contax Tvs Digital, Leica D-Lux3, Ricohs Gx100 and Gx200). Is it the easiest camera to use? No, but the final results are worth it.

Problems:

The menus are a bit clunky. Sigma should copy the menus and controls from the Ricoh Gx200. No zoom, but not a real problem. Sigma should include a better case than a felt baggy, and a tether for the lens cap. LCD screen is a letdown, especially when compared to the Leica D-Lux3 or Ricoh Gx200.
