In my comparisons, the output is definitely very different from my A7, with the characteristic micro-contrast/detail of a Foveon image. So it looks good, but yes some might prefer the Merrill sensor more it seems. Anyways, there are definitely a lot of people out there who can provide their...

Ah, sorry for any miscommunication. I don't claim to compare it to the Merrills on my own (as I've only edited others' Merrill RAW files), but I'm only repeating Sigma's and other's claims of improvement in these areas. If there is a tradeoff, I think the output I'm seeing has plenty of...

Yep, all hand-held. I've left it on Auto-ISO so far. It seems to decrease shutter speed to 1/60 and then increase ISO, which I've found to be pretty good for handholding this lens and achieving sharp results. I took a couple throwaway shots at ISO 800 and 1600 to test out the other night. ISO...

My test shoot DP2 Quattro arrived the other day and I've played around with it and grabbed some shots--enough to give a first-look impression of the camera and the images it can produce. The camera itself is a strange, modern design, that much is plainly obvious from just looking at it. I think...

FYI, sent you a PM yesterday.

Congrats on explore =) It took the algorithm nearly 3 years to pick one of my photos up on explore, but since then I've had a few more and even had 4 go up within the same week (all photos of my dog, lol). It's always nice to get the exposure. Like others have said, the selection process can...

Awesome! How do you like the DP1M lens? I had a DP1X, but wasn't crazy about the f4 aperture and close-focus abilities. Foveon seems to scream for landscapes though, so I like the focal length.

Great images... goes to show it's the photographer, not the camera!

Extremely impressive. I don't have a E-M5, but I've always wondered how long it would be possible to hand-hold with the new 5-axis stabilization. I recently got off a 2 second exposure with my 45-200mm @166mm on my GF1. It was braced against the handrail of my backyard stairs, so it had a little...

Thanks for the comparison! Looks like the E-M5 maxes out the blue/green highlights in the first comparison, causing the wall to turn red. That might explain some of the advantage in the shadows compared to the RX100, despite the close DXO numbers. The RX100 is certainly impressive, though.

Go for the Olympus 9-18mm mZD. Fantastic walk-around during the day. Compliments your other lenses perfectly.

The NEX-6 looks like a winner to me. I like the size of the 16-50 lens, and the 35/1.8 and 10-18/4 finally fill gaps in the NEX lineup. Maybe it's time to retire my GF1 in favor of a Sony? I thought I would pick the E-M5 when prices fell a bit, but this looks like it could be a better package.

Hey Tilman, love your photos. I favorite'd one of your shots on flickr a long, long time ago. Nice to come back to your stream and see some more marvelous shots.
