Now here is an honest review of the DP2 Merrill..

I'm not attacking his skills... or you. I'm just saying this isn't a "professional" reviewer. He's someone many of us know around here from many posts. (added: username chekist)

I said his coloration as posted on his blog to me looks weird, not what comes from the camera. That's true. I find the out-of-camera output rather cold, blue. Yes, it needs editing. But IMHO (and yes, I can express my opinion just like you claim you do) something is strange HDR-ish about his posted DP2Merrill photos.

You touted this as a fair " review," that's your opinion. I have a different opinion... it's not a professional review nor particularly accurate (and commented on his photos). So be it. Different opinions. I've processed some thousand + of DP2Merrill photos.... how many have you taken and processed?

Best regards, Sandy
