Foveon X3 sensor user thread


Hi guys,my SD1 Merrill is collecting dust ever since i got my Dp2 Merrill,i feel like letting it go in exchange for another Dp1+Dp3 Merrill or sell for about a sum that allows me to get the two camera.Please PM me if keen.Thanks
 

DP2M at ISO1250. Convert from RAW to JPEG by SPP monochrome, with no adjustment made on NR. The B&W image look good, and the noise at ISO1250 is ok to me.

Image is too small to tell. Can you post a larger one?
 

The DP1m series of cameras is certainly underrated and hard to prove to anyone on the internet how good the IQ is on web sized images.
It seems that one needs to take a leap of faith to actually try one to see the IQ first hand on their own screens.
IMHO, its IQ is probably going to be unequaled on aps-c for at least the next 2-3yrs compared to bayer array sensors.
IQ seems to remind me of what I can get from a 3 shot pano (~30-36mp) downsized to about 14mp.

Write times is super long, LCD screen is horrible in low light though...
Certainly a slow photographer's camera....
 

Other DP1m shots

Very handy for a light night out that was not mainly for photography (but for a nice dinner)
This coupled with a very fast reacting Q7 was a nice combo to have.
DP1m for the quality shots, Q7 for everything else.

Beautiful shot, pinholecam!

Hi guys, I recently jumped on the Foveon bandwagon and I have to say...I am thoroughly impressed with the sensor:





 

Nice photos

Seems like the DP1m recovers highlights much better than shadows.

Too bad there is no Sigma wide angle converter to make the DP1m 24mm or 21mm

Anyone tried the GR wide angle converter?
