Hey apologies if this has already been posted, but just trying to assist. The Sigma BP-41 appears very hard to get, and is non-existant as a replacement in Australia anyways. The Ricoh DB-65 replacement works a treat.

@Hulyss

Sorry, these are non genuine. You can't get 'replacement'style BP-41 but you can for the DB-65.

The third party DB-65 replacement batteries I purchased will not work in the Sigma's without modification. Have you actually tried these? If they indeed work, it would be interesting to figure out which third party brands do work without modification.

Yep as BW camera its actually pretty good. Guess SD1M is too. Must be quite close to Leica M-M, except high ISO. Interesting these look quite "filmic" while Leica M-M look "superdigital".

Here's an interesting review of the DP2M and discussion of the Foveon process from a surprising source:

http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/sigma-dp2-merrill-camera/

A good read.

Hulyss, thank for your insight for the colour settings. No member of the apple church either

I think the greatest qualitys of this camera are detail and texture.

An ideal subject is this building, lots of detail.

I now have the DP2 Merrill and fired off my first couple of test shots tonight. Problem is, I get a processing error when loading the X3F files in Sigma Photo Pro. I can't see what I am doing wrong - I am pretty useless with computers though (BTW I am running windows 7 if anyone has any tips).

From what I can see, at 100% the jpegs look great. Looking forward to working from the raw files.

When you are in the photoviewer from SPP just dubbel clic on the X3M file and your in the SPP workflow.

Ah yes, this camera seems to do stunning B&W, and the noise at higher ISO's actually adds to the image.

the Ricoh DB-65 are much more expensive than the SIGMA, at least in my country

Some B&W out of the M ISO 320 / f3.5

These two shots are both fantastic. At least in B&W, I find the grain/noise quite pleasing. Was there much else done to them in PP?
