Sigma DP2

It's Sigma's turn, with its new compact cam, Sigma DP2.

What's special about this cam that I gota blog it?

Well, it's its direct image sensor. While common compact cams has small sensors, this has a HUGE one, about 7 to 12 times larger than an ordinary compact cam sensor. (DP2 sensor size is 20.7mm x 13.8mm, which is kinda a dslr-size sensor.) So this should mean that picture quality will be much much better than normal compact cams. Less noise (which is the degree of graininess on the photo) too. That'll be wonderful~

Only thing I find at a disadvantage is that it has a fixed focal length of 24.2mm (means that you can't zoom, so you must move yourself in order to get the composition you want). But well, it's 24.2mm f2.8, so this is a fast lens (means the lens can capture more light, making it 'fast') and by right will have nice bokeh (notice some photos has nice blurred background? that's bokeh), haha.

Hmm, sounds not bad ya... it sounds attractive to me, cos' to me it's like a 'mini-dslr', except that you can't change lens. But hey, it's convenient to bring it around, and well, the picture quality should be good...

But one very important issue: how much will it cost? I guess it will be rather ex... Anyone got DP2, can lend me to play around with it, please? hahaha
