News: Sigma DP2

Written by Noel Christensen in Cameras , News

Sigma DP2 is an evolution of the award winning DP1 camera for the discerning photographer who wants SLR camera quality and compact size camera. With the revolutionary Foveon X3 image sensor that detects all three colors (red, green, blue) in all pixels achieved an unrivaled picture quality. This means that the camera's resolution is 3 times as large as conventional digital cameras with the same number of pixels (ie, DP2 has a resolution equivalent to 14 megapixels). Sigma DP2 is constructed in a solid mechanical quality, with one purpose in mind: maximum image quality! The optimal image quality achieved by the application of that Foveon chip in a size similar to SLR cameras - and when using a lens of the highest class. The lens is a bright (f / 2.8) aspherical design and contains 6 lens elements of optical glass of the highest quality. Curvature is reduced to a minimum and together with Sigma's multi-coating assures a performance to match a good lens for an SLR camera (which can be seen by the lens MTF curve).
