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.

Well, if you do a search here on this forum on the DP2 Merrill, you will find days (maybe 1000ths of pages) of reading on this subject, it has been discussed to the death.

99% of the readers here know all about this, so you are 'late' with your review and personel opinion. But no problem at all for me though.

Maybe you can show us some good photos you made with your DP2M?
