Last time I checked film didn't give you jaggies. One thing that the DP line gave a lot of (previous sensor) was photos with jaggies (stair steps in edges/diagonals).  There are other aspects that...

Meaning more lenses = more options. There is a telephoto macro on the roadmap. The telephoto will give you more bokeh control than the mx1 for a portrait.  That said the mx-1 lens seems pretty...

Nice view, good tonality.

I usually like a bit more contrast in light but like the softness of the shots as a whole you presented.

I have thought about this myself.  I actually like the micro contrast Foveon usually gives you but when people say "it looks like film" I wonder if people really are looking at a film shot when...

I understand some of what you are saying, but I think when someone chooses such faulty methodology and thinking to reach a conclusion it's worth pointing out. More so, when one brand in such...

I am afraid you completely misread what I wrote then because it hardly makes your point. You bang again that the camera images are better than from any Bayer.  That would be true if that held true,...

That you are going by what the D7000 picked, which is not necessarily optimal at all, the same way the DP2M is so recommended in many situations to not be used at default settings (or many other...

:-)  I like the tonality in this shot.

That would all seem fine and reasonable if it wasn't for the fact that the horse you decide to ride on is often the one putting down other cameras, technologies and completely blind to the...

This reads very absurd. How many times it has been said on a per Sigma model basis to set and pick other settings because the defaults are off. Look at the recommendation of Kendall for example...

Part of the issue goes away you mean. You just lost highlight range in doing that. The DR of the DPMerrils is less than the Nikon D800's line sensor.   It's completely false all cameras do....

You picked a lab shot illuminated with a lab light at dpreview at the lowest ISO.  The issue is not whether the Sigma can do better or about the same as a Nikon D800E, but that, such won't be...

Because for a while it has also been proven at least by some resized down bayers look pretty good next to Sigmas.  Of course in your commentary some of the current foveon artifacts are probably...

yes as you said, exceeding expectations- later.  Originally it wasnt as hot.  A big part of that was the price drop.  Anyhow the Q is selling and is staying. That's the main message, contrary to...

Well but that sort of proves the point I am making.  You can say that but that's not what I read in the paragraph I replied to.

Yes, the Q does much better than people think and it seems to selling now outside Japan (I am curious by how much).  Japan seems to be a success market for the Q.

That's not what originally happened. Sep 19, 2012 http://www.dpreview.com/articles/7927911437/photokina-2012-interview-john-carlson-of-pentax "Yes, I think we recognized that rather too late. Once...

I really think dpreview ought to try Capture One 7 on this camera, because LightRoom's output is still too soft. And the Olympus model in the raw comparison does much better- not quite what one...
