Pros: The best of Merrill

Cons: Those known of all the Merrill

Opinion: Take the opportunity for 350 euro, curiosity combined with distrust for a compact apsc, to see her and ugly as all anonymous Japanese compact for the masses, then start to shoot and you find yourself an AF with 9 points painful in moving subjects, max 400 ISO for my taste and a fixed focal length because it is a 75mm, long time to process a picture before you can shoot the next and find yourself after 80 shots with the low battery, the software that Sigma SPP and the only one that can processing the X3f the raw Foveon, slow and limiting for the few essential commands..rne then one wonders where is the myth surrounding the Merrill? rnThe file that churns and unique, difficult to describe, you have to savor it on your monitor, the micro contrast and absolutely unattainable for any Bayer, the big pixels have higher resolution but if you start to crack heavily it also comes out with the file kneaded, and in their nature and is a limit of all the CMOS, the foveon and in particular the Merrill (with the four there was a step back) restalways crunchy and the jam never appears, you get to see the pixels without ever losing its nature because it does not pretend, it does not need to interpolate. Another unique point and color, may not like because the foveon does not play making you have a surrogate reality, the colors are more real and perhaps for this less flashy and add that sometimes the sun plays tricks and you appear a dominant verdina, but what in the use I understood and that much more than the feveron Bayer needs a careful white balance to center the colors and make them natural, temperature and color if not balanced to perfection often results frustrating, often we fight and I always tend to saturate them too much, but it is my limit. If you love the BN you will end up with a lethal weapon with a depth of blacks and a capacity to reproduce film-like nuances, the seal iso in this case up to max 3200 with a beautiful grain.rnPs. I said that it is the best of Merrill because I also have the 2, la 3 has a better lens that gives it a higher definition and even the colors seem to me more intense and full

Pros: High quality of file produced (three-dimensional, color, sharpness) lends itself well to magnification without loss of quality; chance of getting files into black and white with a digital noise very similar to film grain using the Sigma Photo Pro software, excellent possibility to choose the point of focus from nine options, solid construction, falls nicely in the hand thanks to the generous size of both body and lens, it is decentralized and this helps in general good feeling.

Cons: Lack of autonomy (comes with two batteries); management iso issue photographing in color, black and white is a different matter what color it looks like a problem here is creativity, in the presence of low-light AF search the subject, being the lens Macro search is not as fast (maybe that's what bothers you most), you must have a steady hand to shoot freehand. The Sigma Photo Pro software is essential for the development of the raw "x3f" but not the best as performance, in my opinion this is the weakest link in the use of the Foveon sensor.

Opinion: It 'a champion without a doubt from the standpoint of image quality, you can zoom in to 100% and enjoy what brings out the coupled sensor / lens. For the rest, as I have already written the only thing that annoys is the search for autofocus in certain circumstances, this makes the machine unsuitable for photos where the operating speed is critical.
