SIGMA DP1 Merrill

The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the new SIGMA DP1 Merrill. This high image quality compact digital camera features a 46 megapixel (4800×3200×3 layers) Foveon X3 direct image sensor (generation-name “Merrill”) which is also incorporated into Sigma’s latest digital SLR Camera, the SIGMA SD1 Merrill.

The SIGMA DP1 Merrill is the next generation of high image quality digital camera which incorporates a Foveon’s newly developed 46 megapixel APS-C size image sensor in a compact body. The full-color Foveon X3 direct image sensor ensures outstanding resolution and natural rendering with rich gradation as well as a three-dimensional feel. A focus ring and custom Quick Set (QS) mode also improve the user interface. The high-performance wide angle 19mm F2.8, which lens has the equivalent angle of view as a 28mm (35mm equivalent focal length) lens, has been designed exclusively for the SIGMA DP1 Merrill to maximize the sensor performance. With the addition of the “SIGMA DP1 Merrill”, you can creatively use the “SIGMA DP1 Merrill” for wide angle photography and the “SIGMA DP2 Merrill” for standard range photography, depending on your shooting style.
