Just bought a DP2s from Japan, it will be the first pre-Merrill Sigma camera that I'll delve my teeth into, curious to see those colors everyone seem to rave about, even if 4MP in 2022 sounds pretty ridiculous, I'll be already at 100% on my 4K monitor (of course they are supposed to be "Foveon good" 4MP..)

Good luck with your new Foveon. The sensor in the DP2 is, IMHO, the best of the Foveon offerings.

Don't fall for the "only 4MP" trope. Its files are exceptional, printable without up-rezzing to 8x12 at 220 dpi, which has produced some stunning exhibition prints for me. I find I rarely print larger anyway; and 8x12 print matted in a 16x20 matt is the perfect exhibition size.

Plus, if you need larger images, use Topaz A1 to up-rez as large as you desire with no loss of IQ.
