Thank you all for the support and pointers, I bought from Japan and usually I have had on average good experiences with them, they tend to care quite a bit to their gear (although this doesn’t look “as new” by any means from pics).

Regarding the few “real” MPs, based on my other Foveon’s experience, I know that the images will likely stack favourably even to 14-16MP Bayer files

Just really curious about the colours, which in my opinion were never one of the Merrill's real forte. Cheers

I think the Merrill colours depend mainly on SPP, rather than the camera. I'm happy with the colours from my DP3M, as processed to TIF in SPP.

From the sdQH and the fp, I save DNG files and process them with an input profile made using the Color Checker, so SPP is not involved.

The DP3m to me appears to have the best colors of all the Merrills out of the box, it looks like Sigma tweaked something in it.

But usually I still prefer Quattros’ colors as a starting point in SPP.
