Photographers
in the market for a high-end point-and-shoot with all the latest
advancements, need look no farther than the Sigma DP2 Merrill digital camera. Foveon devotees will flock to this camera which boasts 46
megapixels thanks to a Foveon X3 Direct Image Sensor. For those who
are unaware, the Foveon X3 Sensor features three layers of pixels,
each made up of slightly more than 15 megapixels and each layer
sensitive to a different color --hence why Sigma can say it is a
46-megapixel camera. The result is vibrant and detailed photographs.
Readers
might recognize the technology from the SD1, a DSLR. However, this
digital camera features a high-performance fixed lens, a 32mm F2.8
lens to be more precise. Unlike a DSLR, this camera is lightweight
and compact, making it easy to tote around on your photography
adventures. It also has the ability to shoot in both RAW and JPEG,
simultaneously too, giving photographers greater flexibility. Manual
focus is available for use and there is even a focus ring just like
on an SLR –a feature you do not often find on a compact camera.
Also like a DSLR, the DP2 has a 3.0'' TFT LCD to quickly change menu
options.
The
DP2 Merrill is ideal not just for serious hobbyists and amateurs, but
professionals who may not be able to tote a large camera and
equipment.
