But it is a Windows-only program.

The difference is not because of the sharpness setting as I have made the comparison using a sharpness of -2 in the Sigma software and it still produces WAY sharper images than a tif conversion from Photo Mechanic.

Good tip on Faststone. Must check it out. I am not sure how PM is dealing with the DPxM images- either just using the embedded jpeg or really processing the raw. I notice that images saved as TIFs or PSDs from Photo Mechanic are not as sharp as those converted with the Sigma software (but I...

I love my DP2M but I do not enjoy managing the files out of the camera. Up to now the only two programs that would render the images on screen were Sigma Photo Pro and Iridient Developer. With either program you then had to slog through each image, deciding which to keep and which to dump...

I purchased a viewfinder and now run with the LCD off or just showing the exposure techs. I haven't checked number of exposures per charge but definitely get way more. I would recommend the viewfinder.

I splurged and bought the Sigma viewfinder for my DP2 Merrill. It's a lot of money but I have to sway it transforms DP2 into a "real" camera. Framing is accurate, and the viewfinder is bright and small. No longer do I have to try to view something in vain on the LCD in bright sunlight, and I...

I'll have a look. Thanks.

I have Perfect Resize and tested the two methods of upsizing after I had read somewhere that the SPP method was superior. Well it isn't, but there's nothing to tell between the two methods in terms of image quality. Perfect Resize is an excellent program with a lot of flexibility and gives...

Thanks all. I just need splash-proof protection. I've used rain-sleeves and they may work but would be a little bulky for a compact camera.

I'm pretty sure there isn't one designed specifically for the DP1-3M but I wonder if anyone can recommend a splash-proof case for the cameras that was originally designed for something else.

Hi Andy - Not sure if you can answer but does the closeup lens on the DP2M compare favourably to the DP3M, which has macro focusing capability?

With great respect to John and Chris above, you really do need to own one of these cameras to comment, save in general terms, on how they perform. As for the ISO 3200 image I posted, I was careful to say that it was "not optimal by any means" and "had issues". I went to ISO 3200 because if you...

Hi rogerxnz- Yes they do apply to RAW images in a sense. The Picture Settings- Contrast, Sharpness and Saturation you set in camera are reflected in the starting point for the three sliders in Sigma Photo Pro. So if you have Sharpness set to 0 in Picture Settings, SPP will carry this same...

The answer to the question depends partly on what sharpness setting you use in Sigma Photo Pro. As I pointed out in an earlier thread, a Sharpness setting of 0 in SPP sharpens the image and no further sharpening may be necessary. If you prefer to sharpen your images at the tail end of...

I own the DP2M. There are several "urban-myths" out there about the cameras. The AF performance is fine, in fact quite snappy. AF sensors need light to work so none of them work that well in poorly lit conditions. The camera doesn't do too badly for high-ISO performance. Certainly 1600 is fine...

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Sorry, for using the acronym.

Is there one for latest version of SPP? They were available for earlier versions but a Google search has failed to come up with anything for 5.5

None probably.

0 does not = 0! Quite right it seems. This is a bit mischievous of Sigma. It's no wonder the images out of the camera look so incredibly sharp- they've been sharpened if the Sharpness is set to 0! As I mentioned, the images still look fantastic with Sharpness settings < 0. A big question still...

Just a thought but the DP shutter is buried in the lens, so where is the shutter when you replace the lens? Leica lenses do not have built-in shutters as far as I know.

Hi- I am new to the forum- very pleased to find a place to discuss these great cameras. I have a DP2M. I was curious about the Sharpness slider in Sigma Photo Pro (SPP). The Sharpness slider defaults to 0 which is in the middle of the slider, suggesting that 0 does not mean no sharpening...
