I pretty much agree (except I think they are good for gritty people shots) and would add that the Merrills are superb for B&W work, and stitched panoramas.Hi all,
Here's a post from another forum, probably should have posted it here in the first place, since many of us are more interested in photography first and gear only as a means to an artistic end...
In response to the question "Why did you choose Foveon?..."
******************************************
It's the only camera I have that captures -- quickly -- what I see.
I'm often with clients and have only a few minutes of free time (and no tripod) to get what I can.
Nothing else comes close.
I just opened a pbase gallery for photos that came out the way I imagined them (with the DP2M) but were disappointments with others (Nikon, Sony and Fuji in my case). I don't have any interest in diggingposting photos that I *didn't* like, so I won't.
What I posted (and will add to as I dig them out) are photos that I have *tried* several or even many times before and always gave up with because the results didn't match what I saw or wanted to see in the finished file.
Let's say that only 2 cameras still keep me excited about opening up the files, while everything else is usually a disappointment. Merrill is the king for anything but people or low light
...
+1 to all of that. It is good for portraits (though my wife runs away when she sees me pull it out! LOL) and BW.I pretty much agree (except I think they are good for gritty people shots) and would add that the Merrills are superb for B&W work, and stitched panoramas.
