(FT 4) Sigma DP2 – Olympus E-P1 comparison
We received an email with a short comparison made by a person who had the chance to hold both cameras (the Sigma DP2 and the Olympus MicroFourThirds camera)
(translated from other language)
“Olympus m4/3 feels better in your hands. There is a grip which I miss with the Sigma DP2. The camera is a little thicker than the Sigma. The Olympus body quality is higher than the DP2. Controls are very well positioned and simple to use. I like the way you rotate the dial. The LCD screen is bigger (but the camera was off). The camera isn’t rectangular like the mockup you have seen. I believe you can’t really compare the Sigma DP2 to the Olympus E-P1. I am almost sure this camera will be a hotseller.”
And we all hope for Olympus the camera will be really that good!

I’m not so sure… An APS-C foveon sensor? 41mm lens design? The E-P1 may produce images which are technicaly better but those from the DP-1 were simply stunning in terms of color and DR.

4 years ago |Mike asked what we think about optional optical viewfinders (OVF) for fixed focal lenses. I suppose that they are more brilliant than an EVF and not so bulky ( provided they are collapsible). I would like an OVF with two frames (for 20 and 35 mm focal length), which can be used also with a zoom lens in that range.
