Re: Which drummer should they march to?

What are they intending to do is the question! It sounds like you have an inkling at least. Where do you think they intend to be in another decade, say (broadly speaking)?

I've rather than fallen in love with what the DP2M can do in very specific circumstances but that doesn't mean I'm fooled into thinking it is a mature or sensible product. I'd still very much turn to my G6 with its detail-less and many times rehashed sensor for most work because it is simply a very, very, very good camera...

If you did not read it, I answered that rhetorical question:

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

Henry David Thoreau

Since day one (sometime in January 2000), Sigma's often stated goal has been to "build the best digital camera ever." Smirkable, hubris, chest-thumping, deranged, lost the plot, etc. certainly come to mind for some. And, of course, how and who defines the best camera? But that is the beat of the drum and the march to it which has been ongoing, whether one acknowledges it or not. Have I missed some other breakthrough technologies still under development? To quote Squire Hamley in Wives and Daughters (again): "Slow and steady wins the race."

"I thought: I read something in a book, I dream, I imagine, and it comes true. And it is exactly like this in life.
"You can dream, and it comes true, as long as you can get out of the certitudes. As long as you can get a pioneering spirit, as long as you can explore, as long as you can think off the grid. So much time we spend in our education, in our lives is spent learning certitudes, learning habits, trying to fight against the unknown, to avoid the doubts and question marks. As soon as you start to love the unknown, to love the doubts, to love the question marks, life becomes an absolutely fabulous adventure."
Bertrand Piccard, a Swiss person
