Watch the trafficCalled Sigma Benelux and they don't have the DP2 M for at least for another 2 weeks, so I changed it to the DP1 M spontaneously! Will have it tomorrow.
I hope the lens is as good.... Sunshade is not available yet.

Michiel,Thanks Carl! Am I going to regret my swap? I do like the Sigma 19 on the NEX quiet a lot.
Did you have to correct distortion? I do shoot a lot of brick wals for fun, you know :ROTFL:
There is a lot more sharp DOF in the DP1, if you look at the floors. These are nice samples. Don't know about fine detail.

Carl,So far I'm feeling better with the DP2M....I'll work some more with both camera and report back and I hope to hear more from others who have these cameras.
You've got TWO DP2M's ?!?! :shocked:Carl,
Send it back...buy the best sneakers you can find and take a couple of steps back...voila...DP2M becomes DP1M! Without CA! And the shoes will outlast the camera upgrades...:ROTFL:
Loving my two DP2Ms ... am pleased that I do not need the DP1M.

Hi CarlI received my Sigma DP1M this AM and took it out with the DP2M for a few comparison shots at the farmers market. Here are 3 scenes each shot on the same tripod with each camera and same exposure settings.
So far I'm feeling better with the DP2M. There is more CA and fringing evident in some DP1M images (although easily corrected) and the DP1M really needs to be shipped with the lens hood. It is very sensitive to backlit lens flare (see pond image), but to be fair I had a hood on for the DP2M and not the DP1M (none available yet). Sharpness is surprisingly good across the frame for the DP1M, but probably not on the same level as the DP2M. These are only first impressions under rather poor lighting conditions and with limited subject matter. I'll work some more with both camera and report back and I hope to hear more from others who have these cameras.
Actually makes a lot of sense. Two DP2M's cost less than one Sony RX1 and a lot less than a Leica "M" - even less than the Leica M-E just announced.Quentin,
After our first interchange...and spending a number of days with the stunning DP2M I realized that another body was needed. Should the first die or malfunction...no way I am willing to await the next big thing...this is to me as close as it gets....
My Leica S2-P, Canon 1DX, and Oly OM-D will still be there but the DP2M is stunning...so good so organic without a doubt one of my favorite cameras ...
EVER.
First time I have purchased two cameras alike...I just do not think this will be surpassed anytime soon.
And I was not going to divulge this...oh well......:ROTFL:

Perhaps a few steps forward with the DP1M to have the same coverage as that of the DP2M might change the perspectives of things, or a few steps back with the DP2M to spread the pixels a bit thinner ....Sharpness is surprisingly good across the frame for the DP1M, but probably not on the same level as the DP2M.
I think you are right Frank. The DP1M looks better when this type comparison is made. I couldn't get outside today (pouring rain) to re-shoot, but here is a simple bookshelf comparison where the distance of the DP2M was adjusted to try and match the size of the DP1M image.Perhaps a few steps forward with the DP1M to have the same coverage as that of the DP2M might change the perspectives of things, or a few steps back with the DP2M to spread the pixels a bit thinner ....

Unfortunately there is no support from either Adobe or Phase for Sigma raw. If you are on a Mac then Raw Developer will have support in the next revision.Quick questions guys, can the DP2M raw files be opened and processed in LR or C1?
Next question, how long are the write times to your memory card?
Thanks,
Po
Sorry to discourage you with the comparisons, see my latest comparison below though before you throw in the towel on the DP1M. DP2M is still a better option if you will have only one camera.Mine will be returned unopened. I will wait and have patience. One is enough, it might well be the best one.
