Good image quality, bags of detail, robust all-metal design, improved AF system, lens, powerful RAW processor included

Limited sensitivity range, price, no optical viewfinder, underpowered flash, muted colour, quirky menu controls, sluggish handling

The Sigma DP2s provides a well made but quirky compact package for the enthusiast despite it being one that has some slight white balance issues that need addressing, perhaps by a firmware update in the near future?

Added highlights to the buttons on the rear of the camera, slight improvement in AF speed, retro design

Very high price-tag, fixed lens not to everyone's taste

Overall the Sigma DP2s is a solid and good model that takes excellent images however its target audience in the market space is small and will only attract a few photographers

Sigma appears to have tweaked several performance criteria in the 13 months since we reviewed the DP2 as the review camera produced better results in most of our Imatest tests. The richness of the colour from the Foveon sensor remains the most...

too small resolution at the edge of the frame for the range 135-200 mm,, poor cooperation with the original Sigma converter,, chromatic aberration after stopping down reaches large dimensions,, distinct astigmatism

I must admit I’m a little disappointed in what Sigma’s presented. The changes resulted in practically nothing. Here and there something improved, here and there worsened, everywhere slightly, thus making almost no difference in pictures taken with the...
