Sigma When might we see Quattro samples ?

[Garylh]

I think the first three are guaranteed and the fourth depends on your definition of better high ISO.
They also have a virtual horizon option which is quite nice.

The marketing related stuff claims one stop better than the Merrill.. Since the iso range hasn't changed, it is a matter of perspective in terms of what u were ok w/ in the past.

I see the DP2 Quattro is showing up on ebay at around $12-1300. We should be seeing reviews/samples soon.

The last I heard.. Sigma said Japanese market would c it toward end of June.. I wonder if these guys really have any in stock at eBay right now..

I shoot a lot of b&w w/ the dp Merrill series.. So i am not that worried about the issue of magenta cast.

That's what those Merrills are really good at, IMO. A poor man's Monochrome. In bright daylight. With slow moving subjects...

ISO comparisons by focus numérique :

Seems a bit cleaner than the Merrill at ISO 800, but still unusable beyond this :-/

Time to get the last Merrills before they are completely out of stock IMO.
