Quentin,No idea, Rand.
The Quattro is probably the better camera. Higher resolution, more "normal" looking files, but therefore less exciting. I remember the excitement when I first decoded a Merrill raw. I don't get that same excitement with the Quattro, but I do see a better balanced file with very high resolution.
Importantly, both fit nicely in the glove compartment of the Aston :ROTFL:
Yes I seen it and linked it over DPreview, for example.I had a Quattro last week for testing and one thing that I haven't seen discussed is the inability to use the blue channel only in SPP for high ISO monochrome shots. Bummer.

DP2M @ ISO 1600 100% crop
I just posted a bunch of other comparison shots here: Some thoughts on the Sigma DP2 Quattro (and comparison with Merrill) | out. living.
Thanks, Uwe. Apparently I am generating too much traffic and Dropbox as temporarily blocked accessQuentin,
you images don't show here (Dropbox blocks them)
I substantially agree with your conclusions. Once the unique look and feel of the Merrill images is removed, is what's left sufficiently different to make the Quattro a better choice than it's more versatile competitors?

Exactly the same result DL concluded until now.I had a Quattro last week for testing and one thing that I haven't seen discussed is the inability to use the blue channel only in SPP for high ISO monochrome shots. Bummer.

Uwe,Quentin,
what is your take on the 39MP JPEGs from camera? I really don't like to use the Sigma raw converter.
Probably, but I have reduced them now in any event. Much less apparent in the original Tiff.
Has an eye for you Quentin.
