I would not say so. I have DP1, DP2, and DP3, the shutter release sockets are broken in every single one of them. They just to not last.

I haven't had any issues with any Sigma camera or lens ever.

Images are so freaking detailed

If the detail is the only thing that matters to you.

For me its at the bottom of the list of what important in my camera.

Virtually unusable in a bright sunlight as it is.

This I don't agree with at all
At least my images looks great in daylight.
And unusable.. as in your SD-card is empty when you get home... nah  

But yes, it can deliver very nice images of the easy to capture scenes.

Of any scene imo.
Its whats behind the camera that matters in photography.
The camera is just the tool. 
If the most iconic images through history where shot on film.. then a photographer equipped with the dp3 has no excuse

So, so.

I cant say that the competition has better macro (x100, gr, x70, Q, etc).

Frankly I liked Merrills somewhat more, at least from what I saw in my images.

Im no fan of the Merrils. Prefer Quattro and Classics.

Quattro are better suited for capturing the blue skies (there was too much green in the images from Merrills, making clouds look somewhat muddy), but not so for capturing the greens (green glass, foliage, etc.).

The quattro has the best greens Ive ever seen

At the end they all suffer from poor DR, you can not just push one in exchange for the other.

I can

Very much so, good advice. But then for the slower and determined shooter that weight saving should not matter that much either, or should it?

How do you figure?
Why would anyone not want to carry less stuff (unless they need the exercise)?

Wouldnt the photographer thats out all day shooting need a lighter kit than the guy that just goes for a quick thoughtless spray and pray ?

Any who, Its nice that we all have different preferences and options to cover all of them.
No camera has ever been "better" than another.
It always depends on the user
