Hello everyone,

I am a proud owner of a Sigma DP1 Merrill camera, and have been very happy with it. It can take some really nice picture, when the light is ideal. I use my full frame cameras and the detail and color of Sigma still impresses me. So much so that I was thinking of getting the SD1 Merrill camera and maybe get a Sigma 24-105mm lens for it so it can be more flexible as sometimes the fixed 28mm of DP1M is not enough.

What I wanted to know is if there is any differences between SD1 Merrill and DPx Merrill cameras other than one has interchangeable lens capability and the other one has fixed lens and compact form? Is there any usability or sensor architecture difference that I should know about? is ISO performance the same too?

Many thanks everyone.

Since I have bought a SD1M, I don't use much my DPMs. The main reason is the optical viewfinder, the second is sometimes the possible use of a zoom.
