I spent spring break in Yosemite, and used the opportunity to test out my new Sigma DP2 Merrill. I\'m a longtime Canon shooter, and enjoy my Fuji X100 as well. But the buzz surrounding the Sigma foveon sensor and the \"46MP\" Merrill cameras finally got to me. I brought both the Sigma and my 5D3 to Yosemite and thought I would post a couple comparison shots.
Below are some non-scientific comparison shots using both the DP2M and the 5D3 with 16-35mm L II lens. As a reminder, the cost of the Sigma DP2M is $800, the Canon kit roughly $4750.
In general, I found the 5D3 shots more pleasing to the eye, which is the ultimate priority, but the resolving power of the Sigma is pretty amazing. My main challenge with the Sigma IQ involves color rendering, for which I favor Canon.
The main point of the following images is for general IQ comparisons, and more specifically for the amazing detail the Sigma can provide.
Thanks for stopping by
