Very nice video. The 1S cleans up the lag and inability to change anything until the camera is completely done with the last shot. I doubt you will find it for 28 or even 280!

Yes I and others loved the old manual dial for focusing. performance is way better than the Merrill line.

Lots of fans of this line

Sorry, but is this a Joke? I do own the DP2 Merrill (46 MP), one can't compete the 5 MP very old DP1/DP1s/DP1x and DP2/DP2s/DP2x Series with the DP Merrill Series - they're worlds better into IQ terms! I do have both the DP1s, DP2s, and also the DP2 Merrill.

Wow, talk about selective reading. Rick was talking about the focusing wheel on the DP1 -- unless I'm losing my mind. It was an excellent manual focusing system for a compact camera and it's a pity Sigma dropped it.

The orginal DP Series with their roughly ~5 MP Resolution still delivering great pictures into the right Light, ISO 100 and right circumstances - but they can *never* beat the DP Merrill or any other more advanced DP Series, period.

Have Fun & good Light !
