Sigma DP2
Excellent characteristics for shooting in black and white ; compact ; nice manual controls
Slow AF system ; short battery life ; stiff shutter button ; some interface annoyances ; occasional lockups ; poor white balance ; overly blue LCD screen ; poor video capture
The Sigma DP2 doesn't really live up to the promise of its Foveon sensor, but it does excel for shooting in black and white photos.

There is a good review of the DP1 at Louminous Landscape
Pros and Cons
1. The heart of this camera is a Foveon sensor. if you have interested in DSLR and its sensor, it does not need any more comments how wonderful it is ; 2. It has a almost same size of crop DSLR sensor, and moreover IT IS LIGHT WITH IT
1. Accessories are toooo expensive ! I cannot understand its view finder is almost $200. ($30 - $50 is afforable I think) and NEWEGG does not sell its accessories ; 2. It is slow! if you take a raw-format picture, you should wait 3-5 secs until it saves ;...
