The little camera with the big image - DP2M

These digital cameras don't have interchangeable lenses. Among this category are the so-called bridge cameras, including those with SLR-style viewing.

The little camera with the big image - DP2M

Post by P C Headland »

The Sigma DPxM range may have a number of "foibles", but image quality is not one of them. Here's a few images I shot last year while up in Northland that I only just discovered I hadn't processed. I particularly like how the camera renders clouds. It's also quite good for digital B&W.

Your point about clouds is well made.

Those trees and boats are wonderful subjects.

I love 'Colour boats in the marina'. It has a lovely vintage look to it. Is it the colours that look like older, warmer colour film. Or the way the clouds are rendered? Or perhaps the rather classic look of the boats? Maybe it's the composition and framing... or all of the above together :-)
Anyway, a great shot!

That monochrome has a wonderful look too.

Paul, the little Sigma does indeed deserve all the praise you give it, but the photographer behind the camera deserves praise as well. Excellent work!
