I sold it already (had a good price, sold it 780 € six month after buying it). Sad but true, I was not comfortable with the DP2m, even though I am a DP2 user since the start. Also, I do portrait and, since I got first the SD1, I was not comfortable with skin tones out of the Merrill. It needed either good conditions and/or PS tweaks.So, already now the DP2m is ready for the trashcan?
I think it is a combination between the lens and the internal program of the machine, maybe some electronic tweak I dunno. The sensor is the same, for sure. SIGMA are specialists of that. They are able to make huge quality step with the same material, the same sensor, just by improving some inside electronics.To what do you attribute the improved color rendition:
Lens
Firmware
PP Software
Sensor?

Uwe, My primary scenic camera for the past year has been the NEX7 with the 45mm Contax G lens on it (67.5mm) because of its stellar performance with this lens. Having the 30mm on my DP2m (45mm) perspective has been a welcome change not to mention the improve IQ the Merrill produces
At this point I can see myself going for a DP1m more than the DP3m for what I do.
Nope it isn't the good lightI think its the good light... The samples on Sigmas page do also have the green shadow thing... When the light is ok, it doesnt happen...
I just finished my test shoots. I need some time to write about it but yes : This is a winner.Hulyss,
Even your first attempts show that the lens looks the equal to the DP2M, something that I wasn't getting from previous "test" shots. I'll stick with the wider lens as I prefer places to faces, and can't get used to the idea of 2 cameras, but the DP3M looks like another winner.
Yes soon But the weather is gruesome :banghead:will get a review camera soon.
excuses, excuses,Yes soon But the weather is gruesome :banghead:
Hopefully there will be a firmware update for the DP2m that improves colours in a similar way. I would prefer keeping the DP2m for its versatile focal length.I think it is a combination between the lens and the internal program of the machine, maybe some electronic tweak I dunno. The sensor is the same, for sure. SIGMA are specialists of that. They are able to make huge quality step with the same material, the same sensor, just by improving some inside electronics.
I think SIGMA need more time than other company to optimize the "code", the interpretation of the imager. In SIGMA world (trust me), when a sensor come out, wait the latest camera equipped with this very same sensor.
