Perhaps the best for many years to camera at all feasible. The optical performance of the lens and the large chip are downright unique. This quality may have great SLR course. The special feature of the camera is to other factors, compared with the cameras on the market: First, there is the purist reduction to essentials, the elegant proportions of the device, the very low weight. It is the absence of scene modes, Gesichererkennung or anti-shake, interchangeable lenses and gadgets (except for the film and sound function, which would not be here also have been necessary), so basically a kind of 'lack', which for me an almost uncanny desire to the camera has produced. The 41mm lens promotes reflection and is of course high quality as the zoom of any kind. On the sun visor, I would not do without, because the camera with sunshade and viewfinder has a clear and exceptional aesthetic design. The optional viewfinder is very clear, very bright and ideal with -1 diopter. The sun visor is somewhat curtails the viewfinder Durchblick also for me not a disadvantage. Autofocus may have weaknesses in low light and be a bit slow, I like to take into account. The focus can then be manually but do very well, that works with zoom function really first class. The feel of the camera can get me into raptures. Everything feels at very high quality, nothing seems cheap. After Leica M, Hasselblad X-Pan and Epson RD-1 certainly one of the most fascinating photo equipment ever built and overall less expensive as any other mentioned, if it is possible also on the durability say anything yet. The camera's menu can be very good and fast service. Overall, you should be familiar with the photographing or knowledge aspire to this issue, otherwise the DP2 is rather a shame, though a programmed AE helps beginners. Anyone interested in the 'construction' of images, through visual tensions something white and submits to the assumption that have the performance and certain restrictions of the device very positive impact on image results, which will be very happy with this camera for many years, no matter how fast the digital development still continues. By design, the camera can not be exceeded, and more lust and desire can not be created in the photography.
