Customer Review

As the original price was here on Amazon at 475, I bought me. Actually, they did not stand on my list, but at some point they appeared then but when I went to look for a compact camera. I use the Canon otherwise 5DII with a number of high-quality optics. I looked for any camera as a substitute but as a complement, a camera that you can leave sometimes in the glove compartment, you can even take with you when the DSLR does not fit. The idea, in addition with a small camera or not to have received only minor compromises in image quality, I always found charming. So I have let myself in for the adventure of DP2m. After reading the reviews and the numerous reports in the Inet I knew pretty much what's coming to me. What they may not know me so was largely clear. I will now only give my impressions in my reviews, reading material on this camera, there is enough. And anyone who wants to set this camera, which should also be used. So you can see if this fits very special camera to your own profile.

Still, I was very facilitated when I could play on for the first time. Less than I expected, but large enough to still have something in his hand, while high-quality workmanship, the sparse button and the scroll wheel distributed haptic perfect and tidy on the camera. The camera really has nothing to much. Also, the menu is very tidy, to internalize the functions for a more experienced user in no time. I had had no modern digital camera in hand, the so simple to come off in the user guidance, yet actually offers everything is really needed to come to a very respectable image results. I must confess that the points I have mentioned are certainly no signs that represent a real reason to buy this camera, but it has in addition to what they can not, after all, also some notable features here but. Because no one would buy this camera for that price if it did not provide for this outstanding compactness image quality.

The picture quality is really outstanding and is in terms of sharpness around the level of my 5DII in connection with the Sigma 35 1.4 ART, which also provides an amazing sharpness. The pictures are very similar, of course, the potential exemption of small DP2m far significantly leaner fails with the 2.8 lens. But I will not compare with the DSLR the DP2m, but they are just too different, the Canon vastly superior to her simply in most things. I mention this only as a guide for the interested reader.

With the AF and MF good successful implementation I can manage very well. The camera can be operated liquid is quickly ready for use, responds quickly to inputs. So everything was great, until you have 7 time images shot consecutively short, because then she goes quasi cloistered and no longer responds, then wants to be left alone until she finally flushed first data volumes. Well, because you have to get used to halt. But at one point I will disagree with some users still here: I find not only ISO800 still useful, but also IS01600, although then already a texture loss is observed. Nevertheless, the colors remain even at the high values ​​still well preserved and the high base of field ensures that there is still a long time does not look as bad as I feared, according to reports. Some images in Inet looked at the high ISO values ​​significantly worse than me on the screen. Possibly the last firmware update has something changed?

I keep all in all very happy with the little sweetheart and I will for sure. You will me much joy.

Works very well! 6 Rank: 5/5
