Sigma should just give up all pretense that these are serious compacts. They aren't. Serious compacts are small, take anywhere all-rounders. Sure the DPs are small and take anywhere, but they aren't all-rounders. They can't compete with the Sony RX100s, the Fujis, the Panasonic, and the like.
The DPs are field cameras meant to capture carefully-composed scenes with stunning fidelity. And for this they are nearly unmatched. So Sigma, give up the vestigial grip, give up the low profile. Give us a brick with a sturdy tripod socket, an all-day battery, a 5" rear tiltable, hoodable, high res, high gamut, touchscreen LCD, and an image processing pipeline that will spit out JPGs and TIF files in a jiffy so we can review our work in the field.
I'll be the first in line.
Sort-of the digital equivalent of a view camera, no?
Cheers, Jock
