Review on πŸ“· Sigma DP2 Merrill: Unleashing the Power of a Compact Digital Camera by Brady Penczak

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This camera is not for the masses.

If you're looking for a camera that can do it all, this isn't the camera you're looking for. Its autofocus lets you down, it can't zoom, it takes forever to write on the card, you have to carry around a bag full of batteries, and sometimes the colors are weird. Why did I buy this camera? I bought it because you can't beat the iQ at this price. I also like that this camera is kind of old school. Autofocus is fine in bright light, but manual prefocusing is better in low light. I also like that the camera software is fairly basic, with just enough screens to do what you need to. This camera has been found to be somewhat similar to the MF Field camera, just without the dimensions. The more I use it, the more I agree. The size of this camera is also a plus. Fits in a coat pocket. It's light enough for one of those folding tripods (and with limited ISO usage, you're going to need it).

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
