If you want a functional Sigma "ILC" camera go and buy an sdQ or sdQ-H. Easy to use, great color, slap a 17-70 C lens on the sdQ and you are good to go.

But I regard the SD1M as a good to excellent camera if you are willing to live with its various foibles. The Merrill sensor is unique, in both good and bad ways. If your sole issue is wide angle shots buy a DP1m.

Or maybe just buy a DP2M if you want that Merrill look.

No, the various Bayer camera images are not going to look like Foveon images.

What you might want to consider is that Sigma cameras currently produce images that more resemble slide film images compared to the color print film look from CFA and Bayer cameras.
