Even though I really wanted to purchase a Sigma DP2 Quattro, I decided to delay the purchase into the future, and went ahead and purchased a used Fuji X-E2 and XF 56mm F1.2 lens today instead. My 5D Mark ii with F2.8 24-70mm lens is too heavy to carry around all the time. I wasn't particularly impressed with NEX-5, so I ended up taking photos with my iPhone when I am not doing a photo shoot. I cannot really take photos that I like with my iPhone, so I've been looking for a smaller camera that I can carry around. However, I really did not want to buy any more Bayer sensor camera for this, so my choice was either Sigma DP or Fuji X-series.

When I feel burned out with photography, I go to Flickr and look for photos taken using Bronica (e.g. "bronica portrait" in Search box). I don't know if people who care to use Bronica are the type of people who really care about the composition or the quality, or if Bronica allows them to capture better photos, a large number of portraits are so good and refreshing.  They give me inspiration each time. I myself don't own a Bronica, but I'd love to get one someday.

I am a big fan of Sigma after I purchased DP2 Merrill. Image quality of the photos taken with DP2 Merrill easily surpasses photos taken with my 5D Mark ii, which is my main camera. Here is a photo of Kammeron taken with DP2 Merrill that I posted on Flickr quite a while ago to prove my case: https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8091/8421566393_daf489f432_k.jpg Today Sigma announced the date of availability and price for the new version of DP2 called DP2 Quattro: http://www.sigmaphoto.com/article/sigma-corporation-of-america-announces-pricing-and-availability-of-dp2-quattro-camera It goes on sale in August for $999.
