At 1/800, using flash is really great! And I know that this camera can support 1/2000. Unfortunately my equipment was not enough for 1/2000 We all know that only expensive cameras provide this speed. On the other hand DP1 Merrill is only 500 USD. Thanks to Sigma!

I don't understand why you can't get 1/2000, cause you can do it with a 5$ flash.

Native high sync speed is very interesting with leaf shutters, specially for flash+sun...

I'm pretty sure it's due to radio triggers which support up to 1/800.  Directly on camera, you can get 1/2000 as you say...
