Sigma DP1 Merrill And Sigma DP2 Merrill Compact Cameras

Sigma's new compact cameras feature a 46 megapixel FOVEON X3 direct image sensor, while the manual focus ring and custom QS (Quick Set) mode improve the user interface.

Sigma DP Merrill series features:

• 46 megapixel Foveon X3 Direct Image Sensor
• Dual TRUE II Image Processing Engine
• Exclusively designed high performance lenses
• Lens mounted manual focus ring

The Merrill DP1 features a 19mm f/2.8 lens, equivalent to 28mm on a 35mm SLR camera, and the DP2 Merrill has a 30mm f/2.8 lens, equivalent to 45mm on a 35mm SLR camera. Both have a Super Multi Layer Coating that reduces flare and ghosting and the superior telecentric optical design improves image quality throughout the frame by passing on information about subjects to the sensor. Both models have a 3.0 inch TFT colour monitor with approximately 920,000 pixel resolution and are equipped with hot shoes.

Manual Focus is available for use when autofocus or focus lock is not desired. It is possible to use the focus ring for focusing just like an SLR camera. It is also possible to magnify the display to ensure precise focusing.

The custom quick set menu and command dial are incorporated to improve usability. The diaphragm, shutter speed and menu can be changed quickly using the command dial. The Quick Set (QS) menu which consists of the most commonly used functions can be easily displayed by pressing the QS button. It allows photographers to change the menu content and the order depending on their preferences.

Movies can be recorded with VGA (640×480) size and the camera can shoot at 30 framers per second.
