I just bought a dp3m off ebay from Japan. Hopefully it won't take to long to ship. Here's a pano of my town from a rented dp3m this fall. It's a huge file and web size doesn't do it justice.

Just a tip here: there's no point in buying a superfast SD card, the processing is so long that the camera can't write files quickly enough. A 45 MB/s card is plenty. And writing is as fast as a 90 MB/s card, which cots twice as much.

I did wonder but then i can always use it in my other cameras, ended up with a relatively cheap 32gb toshiba 30mb class 10 for less than £20
Had a further play today and have the AF/MF thing all sorted now and use the center button for magnified view not a half shutter press and instinctively switch between AF/MF using the focus button.

Any thoughts on using the Dp3m handheld?  Is there a lot of cammera shake even in good light or is using a tripod necessary?  Currently debating between the 2/3m.

I've never used a tripod personally... I've had a few shots with camera shake though, but that's because I was too stubborn to shoot at higher ISO than 100. A little bit of noise is better than camera shake.

Hi people,

DP3m is now around £300, and it's really tempting.

any of you have experience with fuji S3 or S5 from years ago ? the skin tone is amazing on those machines.

i bought an XE1 some time ago and i quite like it, but the skin tone just wasnt as good as the S3/5. how does DP3M compared ?  ;D thanks

Tripods are helpful, but if light is good, you may be able to get along without one. The good part about the DP#Ms is that you don't need much of a tripod to support 8 ounces of camera.

Sigma DP3 Merrill Filters
« Reply #395 on: May 21, 2014, 10:53:19 am »

Hello,

Can anyone suggests a filter system that works with the DP3, mainly used for landscape.

It can get confusing with so much options, I need a polarize and ND filter.

Thank you all

I just use a standard 52mm CPL for casual off-tripod use. You can use standard square/rectangular filter holders with a 52mm adapter.

This camera must come from a parallel universe. The machinery is crazy, software unbelievably horrible and unique, but images can be out of this world.

The SPP 6 on a PC Win7 works very good with the DPM3 at least I use it and I haven't encountered any problem so far.
