..or at least continue to improve the Merrill cameras with firmware updates and SPP processing. I recognise so many Merrill photos just because of its 'auto' white balance.On balance, I can't recommend the DP0Q.
Once again I raise my eyes to the heavens and ask "Why oh why, Sigma, did you not stick with the Merrill sensor?????".
That's also one reason why many people think Quattro has "better colors". It's mostly because its auto white balance is superior.
And they could manage to make the Merrill processing for Mac users slower with SPP 6.x compared to SPP 5.5.3. Is this the plan, to make the dp/sd Merrills look worse?
In my opinion it is an extremely unprofessional and consumer unfriendly attitude from Sigma to drop support for these cameras.
Not too long ago, the sd1 was an extremely expensive flagship and "medium format" competitor. Now it's a dead horse. (at least for the Sigma company)
