Camera Overview — Sigma DP2x

The Sigma DP2x is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around an APS-C sensor — a notable distinction in its category — paired with the TRUE II image processor. The sensor delivers a 14MP resolution with a maximum output of 2640x1760 pixels, and the ISO range runs from 50 to 3200, giving photographers flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. The camera's metal-clad body measures 113.3 x 59.5 x 56.1 mm and weighs just 260g, making it genuinely pocketable despite the larger sensor format.

On the back, a 2.5-inch TFT LCD with 230,000 dots handles composition and image review duties. There is no built-in viewfinder, though the standard hot shoe accommodates an optional external optical viewfinder as well as external flash units. A built-in pop-up flash with a Guide Number of 6 (ISO 100/m) covers basic low-light situations.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with 9 focus points. Storage relies on SD and SDHC cards, and connectivity includes USB. The camera offers seven color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Portrait, Landscape, B&W, and Sepia — giving shooters meaningful in-camera creative control.

Burst shooting is supported at up to 3 frames per second. No image stabilization of any kind is present, and neither Wi-Fi nor Bluetooth is included.

Key Features — Sigma DP2x

APS-C Foveon X3 Sensor: A large-format sensor in a pocketable body captures more light and detail than the small sensors typical of compact cameras.

14MP TRUE II Processor: Sigma's TRUE II image processor handles RAW output and color rendering from the Foveon X3 sensor, outputting files at up to 2640x1760 pixels.

41mm f/2.8 Fixed Lens: The permanently attached 41mm equivalent lens suits everyday and street photography with a natural field of view.

ISO 50–3200 Range: A low base ISO of 50 supports shooting in bright conditions with wide apertures, while 3200 extends usability into dim environments.

Metal-Clad Body: The all-metal construction keeps the camera rigid and well-built at just 260g, making it pocketable without feeling cheap.

Hot Shoe Mount: A standard hot shoe accepts external flash units or an optional optical viewfinder accessory to compensate for the lack of a built-in viewfinder.
