I have no experience really with the D-lux 4, but I did try the Panasonic LX3 which I was very impressed with. Not with the IQ per se, but with easy of use and overall feeling in hand. Also I tried to make short movie with it and from what I saw on the display it looked very good even under bad light conditions (very wide angle!). No "deepness" due to tiny sensor but well above what I've seem so far from other tiny sensor cameras. There are lots of nice alternatives I'm sure - but I think DP2 lovers will fall in love with one parameter that none else can match - three layer IQ. Hi Phil!

Do you have any opinion in this comparison? I can understand that the image quality of the DP2 is superior, but in real life conditions, which one is more handy ( i mean except from the zoom factor. Im talking about speed and ease of use)? really nice shots!! frustrated me even more now, since im trying to choose between Sigma DP2 and Leica D-lux 4! Do you have any opinion in this comparison?

Is the screen an improvement? I'd like to see Sigma move to 460,000 or 480,000 screen res, a few other companies are now putting this in as standard on their compacts. Landor Hi Carl,

Try and you'll see. Also note that I did all these hand held and when using ISO50 your shutter speed is being pretty slow (one is even 1/15s) and some of them are taken in a very strange position which makes it hard to hold still. Plus, wide open isn't the sharpest possible setting on any camera. :) What you see might also just be caffeine in action. <strong>EDIT: One more thing, what you think is a double line might also just be the characteristics of bokeh!

I should have seen what was going on when I took pictures of my girlfriend in bright sun when I was experimenting with the wide angle but it looked good afterwards on the lcd. So as I result I thought I had made a mess of the processing but I'll bare it in mind in future. Thanks for the tip Carl.

Just curious on some of the latest ISO 50 images, some of them (Plants/foliage), look slightly out of focus (kind of a double image (unless its lens aberration?), or is it possibly camera shake. Or I was wondering if you are merging three exposures is there slight movement/miss alignment when the three images are being merged? A lot of the images are really sharp others are not, just trying to see what's causing it. If the SD15 is as good or better than the DP2 then Sigma have really taken a big step forward. The control of noise looks to be way head of anything they've delivered so far. It would have been good to have anti-shake technology, but we can't have everything, can we? Best regards Landoe Hi Carl,

I'll try to post RAW's here soon, especially some of these. The new SPP should be available soon and when that happens I'll let you play with a bunch of my RAW's. Steven, ISO50 has lower resistance to highlight as it's pushed (backways) ISO100. So if it's sunny bright day, stay with ISO100 - if it's a bit cloudy use ISo50 and enjoy the deep coloristic and thickness. You need to learn to master ISo50 the same way as higher ISO's. :) Alex and others.. I’ll try to post RAW’s here soon, especially some of these.

It's a shame that Sigma hadn't found a work around with the new engine. Do you know of any word on when Sigma Photo Pro 3.3 might be released? I thought that since Japan had got their DP2's this weekend it might have been made available online by now.
