Somehow Amazon met with this camera (daily offer a DP3) and pure read in reviews, which got me interested. Anticipation is to say that I have never dealt with photography besondedrs. However, I was of the photo quality of my other cameras (Panasonic G3 u. Nikon1V1) but often disappointed. Mainly I photograph my children on outings. Something like indemnify, etc. I've tried using the standard lenses with modest results and said that my skills would not be enough. Lo and behold, with the DP2 immediately great photos with dot sharpness (great zoom function on the display - Focusing on rotating ring on the lens) are I have succeeded and I am glad not to have fully automatic here. After I knew about the reviews already, on what to look for when the camera is (ISO 100 limit, recording in RAW + JPEG), reach me intuitively in terms of quality wonderful pictures and it proved to be that I could not quite believe previously. Opened on the computer screen the RAW files and zoomed in and it really is true >> FOCUS TOTAL! The DP2 is now my camera for a few, but special shots. The other two cameras keep earnings (the photo) no comparison, and with such cameras will be photographed only in automatic mode. The lighting is dim but I rely again on these cameras and I will also record video of the children, the G3 is in the knowledge of being able to make unique pictures in bright light for me, who had denied me in the past. And all this with a handy EUR 415, - camera. My next purchase for our city breaks, etc. is a Sigma DP1 (Quattro od. Merrill ??). I would also like to mention that I fear too much effort and certainly never od a tripod. Like.'ll Carry around. Of course you can take pictures with the DP2 with ISO 100 even in twilight, but for those longer exposure times are my vorzügl. Recording objects to fidgety. Also I can this camera would recommend anyone who wants to make in times of pictures inflation occasional special shots that you could print as a giant poster and is best that you can remember much later exactly when exactly this great image is achieved what often is the case with other inflationary images in full automatic mode.
