Sigma has just announced that the much-anticipated Sigma DP2 is now available in the UK. The Sigma DP2, whose first prototype was demoed to us at photokina, is a compact camera with a fixed 41mm equivalent f/2.8 lens and a nearly APS-C sized Foveon sensor boasting 3 x 4.7 million pixels. While the sensor is the same as the one in the Sigma DP1, the lens is new, as is the faster TRUE II processor and the QS (Quick Set) button that gives users quick access to the eight most commonly used options in the camera. The Sigma DP2 is available now for £599.99 (SRP). Two new dedicated accessories for the DP2 are also available. These are the VF-21 Viewfinder that carries a suggested retail price of £114.99, and the HA-21 Hood adapter with a SRP of £19.99.

Since the DP2’s announcement at Photokina 2008, several new features have been added to the camera including 3200 ISO and a Quick Set button allowing users to quickly access the eight most commonly used options in the camera. A new, improved version of Sigma PhotoPro software is bundled with the camera which will also open Foveon’s RAW images from previous Sigma digital cameras.

Two new dedicated accessories for the DP2 are also available. These are the VF-21 Viewfinder what carries a suggested retail price of £114.99, and the HA-21 Hood adapter with a SRP of £19.99.

The DP1 and DP2 are still the only compact digital cameras to feature an APS-C sized Foveon image sensor allowing SLR quality images from a pocket size camera.
