More on sensors... Here's a fairly clear description of the new Sigma Quattro's foveon sensor: imaging-resource.com I recently picked up one of the discontinued DP2 Merrills after the price fell to its current giveaway level. I've only had the time for a few shots, but suffice it to say that the level of detail is stunning - way beyond anything I can get with ASPC DSLRs. Just as impressive is the lens - wide open at f2.8, it's quite hard to see any drop off in resolution right out to the corners. The handling is rubbish - it takes several seconds to process each shot before you can take another - and the battery life approximates the capacity of an old 36 exposure roll of film. You have to use a tripod for anything but bright sunlight. Worth the hassle, though.
