Hard. DP1M is the weakest of the three but has turned out to be the one I use most. So i suspect it's the one I'd miss most.

Irrelevant if they are a UK retail business selling to consumers, In the UK your first recourse is always with the retailer. The manufacturer's warranty is really only relevant if it offers ...

I don't think thre is any point in them going for a APS-C or APS-H body with interchangeable lenses once they go FF. However it may well make sense to them to use an APS-C version of any newer ...

If Sigma had offered a M43 mount adapter matched to their Art series with optical elements to maintain the focal length and increase the effective aperture on M43 then I think they would have ...

E-M1 is not that small or lightweight. I would regard the cheaper Olympus and Panasonic models to be better as travel cameras. The cheaper lenses tend to be small and lightweight. I use a EM10-ii ...

I'm in agreement about the A700. I acquired an A77 which is a nice bit of kit but it's the A700 that I would choose to keep for another 10 years. It represents a sweet spot in DSLR design to me - ...

Typically they sell to distributors who sell to manufacturers. There will be duties to pay on imports into other markets. there will be shipping costs. The ex-factory price is likely to be between ...

I'm watching thisb with interest. My reason for going MFT was to provide a complementary secondary set of kit for my Sigma kit. MFT has the advantage that it is small and flexible. If Sigma produce ...

I think the question is - if they don't use the Foveon sensor then what would differentiate the Sigma offering from the other FF offerings. If they used a non-Foveon in a DP model then Sigma could ...

I thought the idea that Leica used their own special glass had died some years ago. AIUI these days they just specify what is needed and it is bought in from the same suppliers everybody else uses.

I think if you had Sigma on board as a partner then initially you'd just expect them to offer the same range as they offer with E-mount. If launching a system with a new mount then you really want ...

At what cost? The Zeiss and Leica names mean you can squeeze an extra 1% useful out of a lens and charge a lot more for it. Sigma generally finds that harder - that's the power of brand as much as ...

Really? I can think of one Zeiss lens I've had - and sold on - which Sigma would trounce - both in terms of optical and construction quality - and given the existing Panasonic Leica offerings I ...

I personally don't see the dual-IS thing as being a deal maker or breaker. Oly IBIS is pretty good by itself. I treat the two companies as being one system - not two.

The announcement that Sigma were making E mount lenses for the Sony FF cameras was significant to both companies. But it was notable that it increased the credibility of Sony's system. That is a ...

Are you sure what we're looking at isn't actually a hammer?

I have a DP0Q and DP1M. If I was going out to do landscape shots and could carry one it would be the DP1M. I rarely use the DP1M with wider aperture than F5.6. If I was going to do urban or street ...

The flurry of anouncements seem to be about larger, expensive, high quality cameras and lenses. It still seems to be the case that Olympus are making *small* and *affordable* high quality cameras ...

The DPMs are small and light. The lenses are good. I prefer the shape of the DPM to the DPQ. But the DPQ has a much better rear screen. DP0Q is unique - though large. I think it's a great camear ...

The forthcoming anticipated announcement that is causing serious anticipated forthcoming questions to be raised. It definitely does. This thread is proof. And what my therapist charges is an impact ...
