Sigma DP2
What separates the Sigma DP2 (available at Adorama for $649) from other compact digital cameras is what its deceptively compact body hides within itself. The Sigma DP2 was engineered to provide DSLR power and performance, but focused into a pocket-sized body—a uniquely compelling example of bigger is better, but understood within the framework of less is more. The DP2’s image quality and colors are hauntingly vivid and full of depth due to the SLR-sized 14 megapixel Foveon X3 direct image sensor (20.7 x 13.8mm). The DP2 also comes equipped with a 24.2mm F2.8 large aperture lens which is also known as a “standard lens,” providing a viewpoint similar to what the human eye sees. Without zoom functionality, this single-focal length lens also reconnects the photographer to the experience of consciously photographing subjects by reengaging the imagination and vision in considering the distance, light, shadow, color and angle of every shot. While the Sigma DP2 may not be the camera for everybody, for those with whom it resonates, they will be rewarded with an experience and imagery rich with emotion and vibrancy rarely seen in such a small yet powerful camera.
