About the Q in global :

The design is strange, it is large while being little, with a sort of "fat Iphone" glossy finish, after all I do not like it; the DPm was just good on form factor, more mate, more stealth, more pro. Yes it go faster to record, the AF is on par at 97% with Merrill DP so no big improvement, even in manual. To be clear it is exactly the same as the Merrill and improvement is only processor based. Now in the street, ppl see you with a strange Iphone in hands. It is not even weather sealed... Blimey !!! I forgot that almost all DP users use it indoor !!!! Fail ! Most DP users use it outdoor for landscape, street and so on. A lot like hiking with it, shooting ocean or wild dusty landscapes so Weather Sealing was "mandatory" on those devices so IMO, this is a large error to omit it. For 30 or 50 $ more per units, it should have been possible. Common sense and observation of the SIGMA users over the net...

Well, there ya go... as soon as I see the word "Fail !", I know I'm dealing with an infant. Real, serious critics use bigger and more meaningful words.

"ppl" -- Seriously!?

And then you waffle on about "a strange Iphone"... Who the blazes cares?

I know you are not as happy with your camera as you would have liked. And I know the dp2 Quattro is not perfect, but this un-proof-read, diatribe, waffle just sounds like sour grapes.

Your may think you're a serious critic but you really aren't. Assassinating the camera maker is not a critique.

Just sell the camera or return it, and get on with your life.

Vitee, you shoot portraits. I'll bet you'll really love the SD1Q when it comes out as it promises to be a superb camera for that purpose.
