Here are a couple of quick shots to compare the field of view of the DP1 and DP2. You can also see some differences in the colors.

Neil, I had you in mind when I took those shots. Glad they are helpful for you.Thanks Bill,exactly what I wanted to see,glad the camera has worked out for you,all the best,Neil.
One of my favorite setups is the Voigtlander 40/1.4 on a Bessa R2M.I'm a big fan of the 40mm lens -- most of the stuff I have shot with the Ricoh GRDII was with the optional 40mm lens. :thumbs:
I'm glad I could help. And welcome to the forum. I think as long as you keep in mind that the DP2 is not a simple P&S camera, you will be amply rewarded with the images it will give you. The colors do seem to be better with the DP2, especially the reds, but I think a lot of the "color cast" problems were nothing more than a simple WB problem, something that can be easily tweaked in SPP or LightRoom. I hope you enjoy your DP2.I am very grateful to you for posting those comparative images. They pretty much answered all my questions. I am just getting into photography as a hobby (I've taken product photos for years but rarely took my camera outside), and I wasn't sure what the difference between a 28mm lens and a 41mm lens would look like, and those photos certainly showed me. Also, your pictures made it clear that the red-channel clipping problem has been resolved -- it's wonderful to see all those rich reds. The color cast also looks much improved. I am more psyched than ever about getting the DP2.
As far as the reds are concerned, I'd have to agree. I've never been able to get the reds in that Shrine to look right with the DP1. Apparently the DP2 has been "fixed" in that regard. So far so good!That improved red is very significant. I'm constantly disappointed by the inaccurate reds on my DP1. I haven't found it easy to adjust the white balance to achieve the correct red without skewing the other colours.
Do you mean the original raw files, or the converted tiff's? I don't have them uploaded anywhere, but we could probably work something out.Bill, is there anywhere that I can see the originals of those DP1/DP2 images? I want to compare the pixel-level sharpness. A lot of the DP2 images I am looking at recently seem very soft.
