The camera as it was meant to be —

This photograph shows the approximate dimensions of the Sigma DP2 and DP2s.

We've made a few changes around here.
Like handing creative control to the photographer.
And bringing back the sheer 
joy of making photographic art.

In other ways, we've stuck with tradition.
We believe in capturing life just the way it is.
To us, that's the basic principle of photography. 
We remain true to that principle.

Camera formats and mechanisms 
may change with the times.
But the definition of a good camera is timeless:
It's one that takes a great picture.

Those are Sigma's photographic convictions, 
as embodied in the DP1.
Considering its compact body, 
the DP1 delivers amazing picture quality.
It created a whole new high-performance category, 
and won a whole lot of fans.

The DP2s, the successor to the DP2, 
has taken the principle of being 
a camera as it was meant to be, and added further 
enhancements to help you get that priceless shot.

The SIGMA DP2s.
Taking pleasure in refinement.

more than ever.
