I have only done some less than stellar shooting with the DP2M but the initial impression is favorable. This morning I was debating whether to bring it on a 26km run, passing a few bridges in Stockholm. I thought, nah, no backpack on this run.

Lo and behold, I missed two really cool shots that I would have loved to have when I was passing over the Central Bridge by Old Town; a cool tug-boat looking vessel steered in just perfectly with ancient Riddarholmen as a backdrop. There is construction going on there and usually it is not photogenic but

Thatīs one the main reasons Iīm looking for a High IQ compact. To stay with me every time.
Yesterday I was 12 hours shooting with my DSLR in a museum. With a tripod. Uff.
On the street; two hours and Iīm dead. My wrist hurts, my back, etc.
My camera is a workhorse. But thereīs more life to shoot outdoors and the camera must not be a problem but an "invisible" solution.

Ming Thein blog Check it for yourself. Not too technical. I like his insight, and value the opinions. Nice way to write too.

And kosmoskatten, congrats for the new camera

Sucks.

Lots of small cameras use the same battery. I don't know about where you are, but where I currently live, they have 3rd party double battery chargers available so you can charge 2 at a time. I'm thinking of picking one up just to be more convienent when travelling and recharging batteries every night.

Hope you get a new one soon before your batteries run out, which will probably happen after about 20 pictures according to many reviewers haha.

(my record is just over 400 shots on 1.5 batteries BTW, but about 30-40 of those were bracketed pictures, but still pretty satisfying battery life for such a tiny battery).

Well, to be fair, that quick test was not performed by Steve Huff (though some would argue some of his tests are not much better). Worth following? That's really up to each individual to decide. I think there is at least some value in reading some of his reviews - particularly if he is reviewing something you are interested in. Just take it with a grain of salt.

Sean Reid is very good/ thorough imo but, unfortunately, he seems extremely slow in adding content lately, particularly given one is paying for it.

Camera reviews - imaging-resource.com is pretty decent.

Yes I like Reid and Iīm looking forward to read his reviews about DP3M, new Fujiīs, etc. The general texts on photography, art, etc; are also fine. My first years subs. Hope to read good stuff during 2013.
The other website; I knew it too ,-)

Yeah, I figured you must have known it.

For your first year subs. to Reid, the lack of updates is not such an issue as he certainly has a lot of relevant and older articles to catch up on. I'm sure once the Leica M is available, he will publish quite a bit about that camera.

Recieved the Richard Franiec grip today for the DP2. Spent a couple of hours with it in the woods. Just amazing. One hand camera control. Fabulous product!

Was looking to buy a 28mm prime for my 5D II. After getting to shoot the DP2M a little over the past few weeks, I think I'll be getting a DP1M instead.

Here's a shot from last Saturday

Have the RRS L plate/grip BTW....it's also very nice.

Great image!

I'm also thinking about getting the DP1M (in addition to my DP2M)

Thanks guys.
I live in India, and Sigma do have a representation here, but not in a big way like Nikon or Canon. I spoke to the dealer and they said they will have to order it from abroad, which means maybe few weeks. Third party batteries and charger not available, maybe i can order online, trying to find out.
What a bummer. Just when i was firing on all...

Time to look with time the world around you. Look, look, look.
Look at your images too.
Itīs a chance for a bit of silence.

You should look at the second image within the link I send you, that is how they look like, I bought them before for Panasonic and Sony. They work well, but are just a little big bigger.
Usually they sell them with two spare batterys but I could not find that for Sigma.

This one from Hong Kong 181053931113 May be faster to India.

I don't know how useful this is, but here are 2 lists of batteries that SHOULD be the same as the DP2m batteries. The 1st list is the model numbers of the batteries, the 2nd list is the cameras some of these batteries come from. There are so many cameras using this battery that I would think that even in India you should be able to find a charger that works.

1st list:
--For FUJIFILM------------
NP-70
--For LEICA---------------
BP-DC4 BP-DC4-E BP-DC4-J
BP-DC4-U
--For PANASONIC-----------------
CGA-S005 CGA-S005A CGA-S005A/1B
CGA-S005E CGA-S005E/1B DMW-BCC12
--For PENTAX--------------------
D-LI106
--For RICOH---------------------
DB-60 DB-65
--For SAMSUNG-------------------
IA-BH125C

2nd List:
--For FUJIFILM---------------------
Finepix F20 FinePix F40fd FinePix F45fd
FinePix F47fd
--For LEICA-------------------------
C-LUX1 D-LUX 4 D-LUX2
D-LUX3

I have NOT personally confirmed that all of these batteries are exactly the same. However, because it is so difficult to find batteries where I live, I am using a third party battery that was made for one of the cameras on this list and it works perfectly well. If you go to a camera store and tell them you want a Sigma DP2m battery, they will probably laugh at you. If you go and give them the battery though and ask them to find one that looks the same, I promise they will almost always have one. The same should be true about charges as well. Hope that helps.

sculptormic..where's the link that you sent me?
Marcus, really useful info, for everyone i guess. I had a panasonic LX3 from this list, which i sold to a friend. Have asked him to get the charger tomorrow. Hopefully it should work. He has a LX1 also so 2 chargers, one of which i can take...
