Sigma DP2s
2

Only just received this camera so only had a chance to do a few quick test shots.

Stunning picture quality as expected but these were only a few quick shots of daughters dog chasing her cats and a few of some daffodils just starting to flower.

Battery life just has to be better than the DP3m.

Seems to handle really well, ordered a couple of spare batteries but will probably run it off my power pack (as per my DP3m) but need to find a mains adaptor for the DP2s.

Menus again nice and simple, like the focus wheel at the back.

Going to Wales for a couple of days next week for work so camera will be coming along, hopefully it won't be raining. (Is there a day when it doesn't rain in Wales?)

Many thanks to Nick Webster for the camera.

Regards

Keith W

COngratulations!

Actually, I jumped into Sigma bandwagon after seeing the sample images of DP2. I wanted to buy this camera when it was released on 2010..but didn't have money at that time.  When I finally made enough money to buy one, i found that Sigma has already stopped production of DP2..so I ended up buying a DP2M. I like the images from DP2M, but still when I look at the images of original DP2, I prefer those. Another thing I miss in the Merrill is in-camera flash.

You could add some pics from the new camera..:)
