First of all, this is not a 14MP camera. But its Foveon sensor and prime lens has the resolving power that can match my Canon EOS 20D with an L lens. The resulting images could be phenomenal if you tame this beast. It 's like a bronco. Once you master it, you can get exceptional images out of it provided that there is sufficient light. The small resolution LCD screen on the back does not do justice for this camera. In addition, you have to use the free Sigma DPP software for post processing on your RAW file captures to get the best out of every single one.
Pros: The lens and sensor combination on this camera provide for images that are probably better than any other compact point and shoot camera. I've used the Canon G11, and seen many images from the Lumix LX3, and the DP2 results are higher quality. Cons: This camera is slow and the motor drives are loud. The LCD does not do justice resolution-wise nor color-wise to the images that this camera produces. Time from turning the camera on to first picture taken/written to card: 3-5 seconds.
This truly is a unique camera. Not a user friendly one but capable of delivering STUNNING, almost tridimensional, detailed images. Let's say it a "conoisseurs" piece of equipment. Strictly use it in RAW mode, manual focus and external viewfinder.
This probably is the finest compact digital camera in the market with full manual control. The quality of the images are exceptional just like shooting film . Very smooth pictures with the built in flash. Its all in the Foveon chip! For the Advanced ,Professional user.
I love this camera. Do not expect every shot to be great. But when you get it right, the images are phenomenal. The camera has a sweet spot like tennis racket. If you hit it in the middle it will give you a great shot.
