    Sigma DP3

    Well I have to say I've been a very good boy this year, and apparently:
    http://www.sigmaphoto.com/product/dp...gital-camera-0

    The DP3 goes on sale next month. I really want to play with one of these, I'd love to see how long exposures in low light work, be able to capture landscapes with the very fine detail that just gets lost on regular bayer cameras.

    So please, someone buy me one or lend me one for a bit, or arrange a hexus Sigma play photo meet

    The DP1 Merill is the same camera but with a 28MM lens,so probably would be a better choice.

    Re: Sigma DP3

    True, I'd love to play with any of these.

    Its just more when I was on holiday two weeks ago, I'd have loved to have had something which wouldn't loose the detail, the sharpness of the jungle wasteland, my camera with a 77mm lost the vastness. I would really be interested to give this a try, after playing with a D800E I don't think it would have got it either. I'm not saying the Sigma would either mind, just would be interesting to try.

    Not picking on any one in particular, but if you look on flickr for "Hi Van Pass", when riding through there I knew I would just be pissed off with any photos....

    The DP2 Merill with a 50MM lens is tack sharp:

    I would like one of the cameras too,but they are too pricey for me.
