Here are a number of sample photos from the new Sigma DP3 Merrill - with a 50mm f/2.8 Macro lens, and 46 megapixel Foveon sensor. Click the thumbnails to view larger images or click "High-Res" to view the full size originals. These are JPEG images straight from the camera with no post-processing. For best results it's recommended to convert the RAW images. We will be posting our full review shortly.

Really like the detail and sharpness of the model shots, the tech in me inherently thinks these sensors produce better detail in the raw shots.
Sure do great detail, hadn't they always? I think the area where they needed to work mostly was software... RAW files were excellent, JPEGs needed work. You also need lots of memory in your computer 
I shoot with a DP2M and always shoot with the .jpeg and raw feature. This allows me to sort through the .jpegs quickly, flag the images I want to edit, then pull up all the raw images and flag the raw image with the same numbers as their .jpeg counterpart. Then I select only the flagged raws and go on to edit there. Its a big time saver as SPP 5.5 is pretty slow. Another trick is to limit the number of 50MB files in a folder to 50 or less. Seems the program loads all the images into the computer's memory which completely slows down the computer. Macintoshes older than the new i5 intell chips really can dog down with SPP 5.5 so sorting through with the .jpegs and flagging which images you want to edit the raw counterpart really speeds things up! I hopefully will have a DP3M in my hands very soon.
