Here we go again... compared to 28/F4 on the DP1, this time we have a 24/F2.8...

The focal length of DP2 is actually 41mm (35mm equiv.).

Thee seems to be much that the announcements did not specifiy i.e. ISO, buffer, how much the lens extends, if there is IS, price and release date.

This is the focal length that I want, but the Olympus m4/3 concept appeals just as much.

Wouldn't this a terribly restrictive focal length for landscape photography?

[Parchiao]

Get the DP1 and DP2 for flexibility?

major let down.. waited for DP2 and waiting for 28~41mm F/2.8.. What's the point downgrading from 28mm to 41mm.. in landscape F/2.8 doesnt make sense..

Ya loh... unless they sell it dirt cheap like $600-$700, it is not attractive at all. I would prefer the DP1 any time... warts and all. The DP1 is really great for landscape.

probably for streets/candids/normal use

DP1 is great for streets too...



Think DP2 might be good for portraits.

The more I think about this camera, the more I want it. Will make a great camera to carry around for family shots.
