Sigma DP2 Merrill marketing: Hyped, wrong, dishonest, or just defective cameras?

Sadly, another thread is turning into a war of words. Maybe there is a way around it?

I'm trying hard to convince myself getting one of DPM models. So far presented evidence still shows imperfections of Foveon concept.

The real question I'm asking myself is: how and for what purpose will I use the camera. The more I'm finding out about positives the more I tend to ignore shortcomings. This is a simple process of consumer education and choices made against the desires and dislikes, I guess.

No amount of praising or bashing the product should be the decisive factor in making ones decision. I try to look for the best fit of relatively expensive product into my personal needs. Would artifacts shown in some examples bother me in my intended use of particular cam? Most likely. Should I force myself to limit general usefulness of the cam based on differing performance level under different circumstances? This is the question I have to answer to myself.

One way or another I most likely will get DPM, maybe for different reason than solely picture taking. This should make the decision easier. Time will answer the other questions I raised in my musings.

Please, be kind to each other

Cheers
