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.

It seems that color modes make a HUGE difference in the colors from the Sigma cameras . . . and no doubt any camera. For example, the film simulation modes in the Fuji cameras probably change the colors just as much or more than what Sigma's color modes do. It would be an interesting comparison to make between an SD Quattro and a Fuji X-T5, with all the different color modes. If I had the money to buy both cameras, I might just do such a comparison.

Here's a couple of links:

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.
