Camera very good if you know flaws, build quality very good, lens very good, sensor very good. Only use SPP to group files into time of day / lighting and then apply colour balance and exposure if you really have to before exporting straight into 16bit TIFF. Do turn off SPP noise cancellation, it's arse, instead apply in Photoshop later. Do not use sharpening, the pictures are already so sharp that sharpening actually reduces resolution. If you're shooting at over ISO 400 shoot at half resolution and you'll find that the images still come out fairly well. If you have to shoot at over ISO 800, you can still get great looking pictures in B&W by taking the blue channel of the image out and only using it. This is because the blue layer is the topmost one and has very, very noise, similar to those Leicas that don't have colour filters.
The DP2M is a sublime camera and I loved every second of owning it. I only gave it up because I got a 5DMII for video and then I couldn't justify having two good cameras with similar functions.
