I bought this camera as a bit of a gamble, and it certainly was. Shutter speed and ISO performance are pretty terrible. There is a very funny lag in the shutter release as well. As one reviewer pointed out - if you could live with the hiccups - the image quality really has some merit. Colors are good, but you really need to keep the ISO down and need to really set-up your shots - nearly film like in the approach to using the camera. Camera is basically retired now as others that I own have surpassed it.

Waterwalker,

Now that you have no further use for your DP2 Merrill I'm sure someone would be delighted to take it off your hands & enjoy using it.:-)
