I hope you mean "back to the Merrill"^^...They should dump the Q's Boveon or Fayer design and go back to the original Foveon with the Q's replacement.....
Some interesting comments..
So which one is the bestselling model?
A: dp2 is the highest by far. Over 50% than other three models.
So would you change the design of the next generation dp series?
I’m not sure, we haven’t discussed yet.
How did you investigate the customer’s need?
I usually check the forum. I didn’t join them. I just watch, and to guess what’s the customer’s need.
I think plural was meant. Otherwise it is likely to be DPR. Lots more whining thereWhich forum? where do I sign to be able to pass on what I would like?
Indeed. I've long held the opinion that the Merrill (F20 sensor, 5um pitch) represents a limit in spite of those who want more, more, more MP. I view the raw data for my SD1M often - and the higher levels, especially blues, look horrible with missing levels and funny patterns: due to look-up tables in-camera, I'm told by a member of the RawTherapee X3F team. None such is visible in SD14 files (F13 sensor, 7.8um pitch). I would love to see the circuit improvement of the Merrill (much lower transistor count = bigger fill factor; and more) applied to a ~7,8um pixel pitch. Maybe full-frame, maybe not.I wish they would also recognize that high ISO is not really a Foveon strong point and continue with IQ as the main importance.
They should dump the Q's Boveon or Fayer design and go back to the original Foveon with the Q's replacement.
The Q body was interesting, now dump it and build something more akin to the RX1 in size.
The one thing they are doing right is the simple software options in camera, no face detection etc.
