Quirky to say the least; tough to live with - but the results can be amazing

I bought this camera as a bit of a gamble, and it certainly was. Shutter speed and ISO performance are pretty terrible. There is a very funny lag in the shutter release as well. As one reviewer pointed out - if you could live with the hiccups - the image quality really has some merit. Colors are good, but you really need to keep the ISO down and need to really set-up your shots - nearly film like in the approach to using the camera. Camera is basically retired now as others that I own have surpassed it.

Hi,

Are your cameras that surpass it as small?  The tiny size combined with the sharpness of the lens is what I like about the DP2 M the most.
