Sigma DP2s vs Canon G12 at ISO 800 Street Photography

I recently read this enjoyable blog post 102 Things I have Learned About Street Photography.

I especially enjoyed 53. “Creepiness is proportional to focal length”. Don’t shoot street photography with a telephoto/zoom lens

Or as I would shorten it for humor’s sake, “zoominess equals creepiness”.

Anyway,

Sigma DP2s vs Canon 60D and Sigma 50mm 1.4

I paired the 60d with a nice Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens. (Other images here: Canon 60d shots of Victoria at Dartmouth Library)

Take this shot. Very nice. However…

Canon 60D and Sigma 50mm 1.4

This shot taken with the DP2s just jumps out at me.

Sigma DS2S, SD14, Nikon D90, Samsung TL500 and Canon G12 to Cape Cod

I took those cameras to Cape Cod. My new (to me) DP2s is delivering the same stunning results as my DP1. I took many comparison shots with my friend’s Nikon D90 and zoom lens (sorry, forgotten which) and my SD14. For quick shots the D90 was better, easier to use, but for portraits the SD14 had that extra je ne sais quoi.
