Re: One trick pony

Some people just don't get it. I wonder what you would write about the new Pentax 645 Z. I bet you'd complain about how slow it works and how long the files take to write to the memory card. I'm guessing you would also complain about how big it is and how much it costs. I'm surprised you didn't complain that the DP2 Quattro doesn't have image stabilization and can't shoot video. There are a LOT of things the DP series cameras DON'T have:

1. Tiny size, like a compact pocket camera

2. Water proofness, like a Pentax W3

3. GPS

4. Wi-fi

5. Built-in HDR

. . . etc. etc.

You obviously are not a candidate for a camera that captures stellar image quality, unless it also shoots fast and is extremely versatile. You might like the Nikon V3. It makes nice 18 MP photos, which are almost as many megapixels as the 19.6 MP photos from the Sigma DP2 Quattro.
