The Sigma DP2x compact digital camera features a 14 megapixel Foveon X3 direct image sensor (2,652× 1,768 × 3 layers)


The Sigma DP2x is the latest DP2 series model and incorporates AFE (Analog Front End) and high speed auto focus. AFE is also used in the Sigma SD15 digital SLR and converts full color data, which the Foveon X3 capture system records, into a digital signal. This enables the Sigma DP2X camera to reproduce high definition and richly colored images. In addition, the new AF algorithm provides high speed auto focus, ensuring convenient shooting.

Key Features

- 14.45Mp Foveon X3 Direct Image Sensor
- 2.5" LCD Display
- 24.2mm Lens
- SD/SDHC/MMC Memory Card Slot
- 320 x 240 Video Capture
- Built-In Flash
- ISO 3200
- RAW and JPEG Capture
- Quick Set Menu
- Hot Shoe

DSLR-Sized Image Sensor
The size of the image sensor used in the DP2x camera is 20.7mm x 13.8mm. It is approximately seven to twelve times larger than the 1/1.8" to 1/2.5" image sensors used in ordinary compact digital cameras. The pixel size of the image sensor is 7.8μm. The large photodiodes deployed at a large pixel pitch capture pure, rich light efficiently and give the DP2x its high resolution and richly-graduated tones

Full Color Image Sensor
The DP2x uses the same 14Mp (2,652 x 1,768 x 3 layers) direct image sensor as the SD14, SD15 and other DP series cameras. Utilizing the special features of silicon, which is penetrated to different depths by different wavelengths of light, this direct image sensor succeeds in full-color capture with the full RGB in a single-pixel location. Since the moire is not generated, use of a low-pass filter is not needed because full information of light and color can be captured with three-dimensional feeling

True II Image Processing Engine
The DP2x incorporates the "TRUE (Three-layer Responsive Ultimate Engine) II" image processing engine which improves the processing speed and overall image quality. The unique image-processing algorithm provides high resolution power and reproduces high definition images with richly graduated tones

24.2mm f/2.8 Lens
The DP2x is equipped with a 24.2mm f/2.8 large aperture lens, equivalent to 41mm on a 35mm SLR camera, which has been designed exclusively for DP2x. Two high refractive index glasses and two molded glass aspherical lenses provide superior image quality and allow compact construction. The Super Multi Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting. SLR-sized image sensor and the large aperture of f/2.88 combination provide natural shallow depth-of-field and attractive bokeh effect

RAW Format Recording
The DP2x includes JPEG recording format for convenience plus a RAW data (X3F) recording mode for retaining full image capture detail of the utmost quality. The RAW data format provides pure data for high-resolution images, and uses lossless compression for more compact, yet uncompromised, data files. The RAW data format of the DP2x keeps brightness and color data in a 1:1 ratio without relying on interpolation. Each pixel location captures the full color of RGB data, so in RAW, X3F files, brightness and color data can be kept in a 1:1 ratio without relying on interpolation. When the image is processed in Sigma Photo Pro, it will preserve the balance of the natural data for the best photos with the best image quality

Three Metering Modes and Four Exposure Modes
The DP2x has three metering modes, Evaluative Metering, Center Weighted Average Metering, and Spot Metering. It is also possible to select the exposure mode from Program AE, Shutter Priority AE, Aperture Priority AE, or Manual. Exposure compensation can be set in 1/3 stop increments from +3.0 to -3.0 stops and an auto bracketing function is also available

The QS (Quick Set) Menu
The DP2x features the QS (Quick Set) menu, designed to allow users to quickly access and change the most commonly used camera functions. It is possible to display the QS menu by pressing the QS button. QS menu 1 allows users to change the ISO setting, white balance, flash mode, and metering mode and QS menu 2 gives access to the image size, color, image quality, and drive modes

Pop Up (Manual) Built-In Flash
The SP2x is equipped with a pop up (manual) built-in flash. It is possible to use normal flash, red-eye reduction flash, and slow synchro mode. It also features flash exposure compensation in 1/3 stops increments

9 Point Focusing Area
The AF area of DP2x is equipped with 9 focusing points. It is possible to select the desired focusing point depending on the shooting situation

Manual Focus
Manual Focus is available for use when autofocus or focus lock is not desired. It is also possible to magnify the display to ensure precise focusing

Color Mode
The DP2x camera is equipped with 7 types of Color Modes which feature adjusted saturation, contrast, etc. for each shooting situation. It is possible to select from Portrait, Landscape, Vivid, Standard, Neutral, B/W or Sepia

Large 2.5" TFT Color LCD Monitor
The DP2x camera features a large 2.5 inch TFT color LCD monitor. The LCD monitor displays 100% of the images, allowing the photographer to easily and accurately confirm the image compensation

Hot Shoe
The DP2x camera is equipped with a hot shoe, allowing use of the dedicated external flashgun EF-140 DG (optional) as well as Sigma electronic flashguns for SD series such as EF-610 DG SUPER and EF-610 DG ST. This hot shoe is also used to attach the high performance view finder VF-21 (optional)
