In Japan on April 24th! And guess who will be standing line waiting to get one!

Just checked the price at Yodobashi. It will be 69,800 yen. I'll be stopping at Yodobashi tonight on the way home to reserve mine. It's gonna be a long 3 weeks!

It's done. I stopped at Yodobashi and reserved a DP2. The guy in the store told me I was the first one to reserve the camera. I bet I won't be the last. I already have a 40mm Voigtlander viewfinder for it, and I'm thinking about getting another Artisan&Artist case for it too. I don't even have the camera yet and I'm already buying accessories for it! Is that bad?

No, I think not. I share your enthusiasm, being in that same sweet situation many, many times. I do hope that DP2 will do much better justice to the promising Foveon sensor. I tried hard to make SD14 or DP1 one of my main cameras, but failed miserably.
Do let those anticipative emotions keep coming.
Kind regards,
Osman

Bill, I hope you post some shots with it right away. Do me a favor, will you? Please post some taken in available light at high iso's. I can't wait, either, until you get yours.

OK, available light at high ISO. That'll be high on my list.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm extremely happy with the DP1, so I have high hopes for the DP2. The 28mm lens on the DP1 is a tad wide for me, so I'm looking forward to a slight longer lens, and the wider aperture should be a bonus too.

Hi Bill.
Sounds good with your DP2.
When you're testing I'm very interested in the speed of the mrk. II;-)
I knew the DP1 - so I'll be happy if you will tell us about the speed compared to DP1.

Thanks.
Ellemand

I'm enjoying the enthusiasm here!

Bill, I sent you a PM.
