Some photos from Sigma DP2M

Quite a few images from Sigma DP2 Merrill / DP2M are available on the web. I am very impressed by some incredible pictures from Japan: link 1, link 2. Another amazing image was posted on dpreview forum. The link to the full size image is in the second post, and the link to RAW file is somewhere down in the thread. It seems that overexposure and subsequent highlights recovery from RAW files is the way to go with DP2M in order to get better shadows. Note that the originals are huge. Owners of Sigma cameras tend to post non-cropped images. Generally Sigma people shoot in RAW and process images later, to get most of it.

Not bad for a compact camera that cost below one grand. Kudos to Sigma. It seems that Sigma finally modified their distribution channel in Australia and now it is possible to buy their cameras from big distributors such as  C.R.Kennedy.
