A great camera for limited applications

I for one would rate the camera as excellent for landscapes and scenery. In fact that would be one of its best applications. There is a conception out there that a good landscape lens must be wide view and that is just not the case. Much of the poor landscape shots that I see suffer from a view that is so wide that everything in the shot is insignificant. Wide views have to be very well composed to have any impact. The OP has not mentioned lens length as a problem but what else would make him downgrade it as a landscape camera?
Agreed, no cameras do far distance detail better than the Merrills. All three of them are superb for landscapes, the 3M is no exception.
