Dear Sigma, I'm not keeping the DP1 Merrill.

A bit extreme eh?     SPP is a fine RAW converter.   I actually like it, as an excellent RAW converter.   I do all of my post-processing in Photoshop, so my expectations of SPP are limited to RAW conversion, which it does very well.  I don't just 'tolerate' it, I actually like SPP and appreciate it, as a RAW converter.

The DP1M is SO awesome that I cannot imagine sending it back simply because I was a bit frustrated with the RAW converter.   I don't understand this extreme attitude.  Anyway, to each his own.
