Sigma DP2x


$299.99 Released February, 2011

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Full APS-C sized sensor - the same used on much larger crop-sensor DSLRs. Improved AF speeds over the DP2. 41mm lens with fast f/2.8 aperture - great for low light shooting, separating the subject from their background.

The Cons:Somewhat bulky - can't fit into a pocket easily. Not much of a looker. Fixed, fixed focal length lens - no replacing your lens, no zooming functionality.

The Sigma DP2x is a mid-cost digital camera. The main selling point of this portable camera is its fourteen megapixel Foveon X3 sensor, which Sigma promotes as twelve times larger than sensors usually found in cameras this size.

Where to Buy

This sensor, which is similar to the sensors found on Sigma's much larger SD15 and SD1 DSLR cameras, is capable of producing high-quality (330dpi) poster-size prints. The 24.2mm F2.8 lens of this camera is fixed, and so does not have a zoom. You can use this lens to capture images in both JPEG and RAW formats. It can also capture low-quality 320 x 240 video. If you want to save pictures or video taken on the Sigma DP2x, you must provide your own SD/SDHC/SDXC card.
