Sigma has gone and launched a high-end compact digital camera featuring a 14-megapixel FOVEON X3 direct image sensor, the DP2x. The new camera is the latest in the DP2 series and boasts an Analog Front End (AFE) and a faster autofocus, Sigma says. AFE is used in other Sigma cameras, like the DP1x compact and SD15 DSLR, in order to convert full color data.
The image sensor used in the DP2x measures 20.7mm x 13.8mm and is about 7-12 times larger than what you'll find in most compact digital cameras, Sigma claims. According to Sigma, this helps the DP2x capture light more efficiently to better handle high resolution photos and richly-graduated tones.
Other features include a 24.2mm F2.8 aperture lens, RAW data (X3F) recording mode, up to 3200 ISO (RAW only), 3fps continuous shooting, and the ability to record 320x240 movie clips at 30fps.
No word yet on price or availability.
