Sigma DP2S 14MP X3 FOVEON CMOS Digital Camera with 24.2mm f/2.8 and 2.5 inch LCD

Product Description

Sigma's DP series cameras are designed so as to provide the photographer full creative freedom and control within a compact digital camera. Thanks to its proprietary three-layered Foveon X3 direct image sensor, this 14.45 mega pixel camera creates photographs with a unique 3-D look along with the kind of clarity and sharpness you'd expect of a digital DSLR, something you might create with a much larger camera. The DP series cameras have been upgraded for easier operation and have now been unified so that using both is effortless.

The latest version, the DP2s, remains true to that objective and maintains its "True II" image processing engine and its standard lens focal length, but reflects several upgrades from the initial introduction of the DP series back in 2008. Specifically, the new AF algorithm provides high speed auto focusing, ensuring convenient shooting, the Power Save Mode lowers the battery consumption allowing for a greater number of pictures to be taken with a single battery charge. The new rear design makes the user interface easier to interpret and use with quick, easy button recognition as the addition of red buttons enable easier operation of the camera controls. The DP2s is accompanied by the latest RAW image processing software, Sigma Photo Pro 4.0 which has superior image processing algorithm and improved compatibility with multi core CPUs and provides better image processing speed and improved image quality. The incorporation of a new noise reduction algorithm reduces Chroma and Luminance noise when processing X3F files taken at ISO 400 or more.

Optional accessories include a viewfinder, hood adapter, close-up lens and filters which enhance the photographic experience. So despite being small enough to carry anywhere, the DP2s offer full creative opportunities and delivers outstanding picture quality.
