Hi All
I just found this forum. Let me tell you how I came across the Sigma DP Merrills.
I am coming from the Canon Powershot G Series of cameras. I have used the Canon G9 and Canon G11. I shoot mainly candid street portraits and mainly use manual focus and found myself always using the M (Manual) mode on the canon G11. The G11 camera (and G series overall), although it is a really neat camera, I felt I needed something without all the bells and whistles, such as scene modes for example. When I first came across the specs for the Sigma DP Merrills, I admit I laughed out loud because 40+MP sounded just too good to be true! Then I did some research and noticed that this camera does not have AUTO mode, does not have Scene modes, does not have many other features which I hardly use on my current P&S, and is basically like a Film camera of yesteryear. But it does have very good image quality. All this is exactly what I was looking for. So I am hoping to be challenged by this camera and hope to improve my photography skills.
Cheers
Shelton
