These are great quirky cameras, but I can't bring myself to buy another due to lack of lightroom support and high ISO. I'll just stick with the Dp2m and spend my cash elsewhere.
I can't bring myself to
The cost of Velvia + processing here in Europe is simply too high. The price of the DP1M on sale in the States was no more than 30 rolls of Velvia, bought developed and scanned, here in France.
Thanks, Gary. I picked up a DP1M to complement my 2M while I was in NYC--fortunately just at the moment when the big price cut went into effect.
The author of this LL review has been one of the primary DP*M GAS machines, oops, I mean promoters, on the net. I'm sure the 75 is great. The author has in fact been saying he thinks it is the best of the three in terms of resolution, color, and lack of CA.
Maybe, just maybe... when that goes down in price, too?! If I could do it over, I would probably rather have the 28 and the 75 rather than the 28 and the 45, but a 21 or 24 at the wide end would be even better. 24 and 75 would be wonderful.
These are my dedicated backpacking cameras. I also love the monochrome high ISO images they produce and don't find them or the software hard to use at all.
I'm starting to seriously consider a DP2m ... I like the focal length more than the other offerings.
I think I may have to sell a couple of things as I seriously need to look into this Foveon sensor. The image threads consistently show that this camera/sensor is special!
I just got a DP2m on Friday and I'm blown away by it. It writes files slowly but it's got a very simple interface that is very intuitive
Is write speed a real issue for the types of shooting this camera excels at? I would think all the film shooters who complain about people "spray and praying" would love the slow speed!
A 21 or 24 equiv would be my dream combo w/ the existing 45.
It is nice that they added face detection on the dp3m. I wonder if it will become available as a fw update for the other cameras.

Speaking of things I can't bring myself to do: taking a $6000+ body/lens combo backpacking lol ! The DP*M series is a dream come true for me. The cost of Velvia + processing here in Europe is simply too high. The price of the DP1M on sale in the States was no more than 30 rolls of Velvia, bought developed and scanned, here in France.
The FW updates on the DP1M and 2M both added face detection 😎
SPP has never crashed for me. The camera is responsive. The Franiec grip really helps balance the camera and looks great, too.
We want/need a dp m camera with interchangeble lenses....:bang:
