Reading through various reviews etc I find Sigma DP series get unfair justice that they're slow, bad AF and other reasons that it cannot cope in all-day-out camera etc etc. Time to put a counter argument.
I find this little camera hiding a huge beast inside and is capable to fill most of needs, definitely more than many photographers (who haven't used it) think it's capable of. Even high-iso if you really need it. DP series started the bigger-sensor digital p&s trend and Sigma never got the credit for it. When I got my old DP2s just handful of photographers knew it, with the new Merills out I now find it's still a highly underrated and unknown camera.
Some random DP2s (note it's only 4.7 megapixels) shots. You CAN catch that very 'moment' with the Sigma DPs IMHO:
Offroading in Lesotho.
Rolling in Indonesia.
A backflip, Tanzania.
Digging Sahara.
Wave, Namibia.
Carrying my bike from Angola to Congo.
Voodo rhyhms, Ghana.
Things weight less on the equator, Gabon (self-timer shot).
Arabian 1001 nights - wife's making some midnight food during our Oman-Yemen border crossing, we had to find a wild camping spot in the desert.
