I have been fascinated by the news of Sigma’s announcement of their next compact digital camera, the DP2. As as owner of the DP1 I am well aware of its flaws - the most irritating being the lack speed at which the camera starts up and the slowness of the autofocus. As I understand it this is not a replacement of the DP1, just another in the DP series. It appears to be the same size body.

Leica announces D-Lux 4 and C-Lux 3: “
Pre-Photokina 2008: Leica has announced the D-Lux 4 and C-Lux 3 digital compact cameras. D-Lux 4 features a 1/1.63’ CCD image sensor, 3.0’, 460,000 dot LCD monitor and a 24 to 60mm (equiv) lens. Compared to D-Lux-4, C-Lux 3 has a smaller 1/2.33’ CCD sensor, 2.5’, 230,000 dots LCD monitor and zoom range of 24 to 125mm (equiv). Both include 50MB internal storage, support SD/SDHC storage and video recording.”
This looks interesting. Wide, fast lens. 10.1 megapixels, large sensor in a small format, JPG and RAW. No viewfinder though. Worth checking when it comes out. I have tried the C-Lux range and they produce some excellent images, though expensive. It’s all in the lens.
