I thought that was a 24 MP camera, which would just not be enough to please someone used to a Merrill or a Quattro, like Roger.

I think when the DPMs came out most other cameras had AA filters.

That helped give the Merrill APS-C sensor an edge right up to 30Mp equivalent back in 2012 and some time after.

The DPM lenses are also sharp. That emphasises the performance of their sensor.

I have an X-H1 (24Mp) and X-T30 (26Mp) and using them with the Fuji 16mm F1.4 and 56mm F1.2 comes close to matching the DPMs in terms of pixel peeping. The Fujis win on low contrast and shadow colour - but the DPMs still manage to look a bit better on some texture and (subject to your taste) the skies.

The DPMs win on size and weight. The Fujis win on flexibility and ISO.

DPQ something more mixed. It doesn't have the outright consistent resolution of the DPMs - but with the right subject is impressive. But the DPQ is heavier and physically larger than a DPM.
