Hi guys,
I love the original Sigma DP1 and DP2, and still use them from time to time as I really enjoy the transparent clarity and sparkle of the images. There's something about the way the raw files in SPP have a unique look in the shadows and highlights.
I'm about to buy one of the last remaining DP2M's in Australia (so it seems), and I hope that it gives me the same 'oh wow' factor of the original cameras. The original DP2's images are sometimes marred by their very quirky white balance and colour handling, often resulting in a greenish cast, but from what I have seen, the Merrill cameras have much better colour accuracy but have lost a bit of that 'transparent sparkle'.
I hope I'm making the right choice...
Any thoughts from users or observers?
