    Sigma Thoughts on the Merrill generation

    Although I'm big on the techie/nerdy aspect, one thing I like is the ability to crop. I'm not sure this camera is good for catching unexpected shots, but that's one way I hope to abuse it. In that case, ample cropping resolution will make it all the more fun to get the shots, and sort through it...

    I MUST have this camera!

    I think it's the early adopter penalty. Not all cameras seem to have the problem. I hope by the time I get around to buying one, the problem will be fixed.

    Sigma "bad weather" Foveon shots

    Wow, that is popping like 3D! Amazing photography! Are those shots handheld?

    Sigma Sigma DP2s still works!

    WOW! A photographer with your skill deserves a DP2 Merrill. What are you waiting for? Sell your old gear to wannabes who only want to pretend for a while that we could match your skill with antique cameras.

    I think my question will have to be answered before we can answer your question. The sensor seems to be giving higher or lower responses in large connected groups of pixels on the sensor. It could also be some kind of noise in the electronics. I suspect it is caused by a manufacturing defect.

    It could also be a manufacturer defect. Do we know yet if this problem is occurring on some cameras, but not others?

    PhotoAcute can fix the noise, the banding, and it can increase the already-stellar resolution. A better camera and lenses will cost you at least $3500. PhotoAcute will cost you about $150.

    I've already started saving for it. There are plenty of reports of quirks like lens flare and sensor noise, but I don't care. The image quality is still by far the best you can get for the $999 price tag. And, you can get it in any color you want, as long as you want black :)

    Sigma Sigma dp2m sensor/image size question

    My girlfriend dyes her hair and drives me crazy too. They say love is blind, but nothing else ever looks as good :) "She's so mean, but I don't care. I love her eyes and her wild, wild hair!"

    Sigma Sigma dp2m sensor/image size question

    I found this, you can compare for yourself: Sigma SD1 / SD1 Merrill In-depth Review: Digital Photography Review It looks like the D3100 isn't quite in the same league either. I have to select the D5100 to get close, and it's still not as detailed as the Sigma SD1, which has the same sensor...

    Sigma Sigma dp2m sensor/image size question

    The exact figures are 4704 x 3136 = 14.75 megapixels. That's exactly how many pixels you will see on a computer screen. But, those are pristine pixels, not the interpolated "fudged" pixels like in normal cameras. You can compare Sigma Foveon resolutions with other cameras by multiplying the...
