well, the classic dp series obviously can't compete in terms of resolution with the Merrill and Quattro, but they are still my personal favourite in terms of color signature.

The DP2 classic renders skin tone very nicely, something that cannot be said from the Dp2 Merrill (in my opinion). The DP2 quattro is again different, but in terms of skin tone I prefer the Dp2 classic.

I vastly prefer the colour signatures of the original DP1 and DP2 to the DP2 Merrill. Early last year, I bought one of the remaining DP2M's in Australia because that window was almost closed, and I wanted what I hoped would be an updated DP camera. And in the last year and a half, I've been striving to like it, but ending up disappointed over and over.

May I ask you if, according to you, a DP1s or a DP1x has the same 'colour signature' as the original DP1...? I'm under the impression that they share the same sensor, but I'm not sure, and the sensor is not everything... Moreover, to make things even more unclear in my mind, I'm confused by the analog front-end (AFE) - I don't know for sure when it was introduced, and this can surely deeply change things, even with the same sensor.

I greatly appreciate any hint you could provide.
