Do you think condescension will really help remove ghosting due to movement?

My DPM shots don't fall apart when shot in good light. What are you referring to? A native resolution file, at 300% on a retina display, I'll begin to see pixelation. But stuff is solid, if pixelated, through 600%, imo.
Maybe I'm confused.

"Retina" displays are roughly 2x the resolution of a regular display, so 400% on a retina is equivalent to about 200% on a regular display. The macbook displays are I think 220 ppi. If you are viewing at 100%, it is equivalent to looking at a print printed at that resolution (however large that is).
If you just lean back and squint, it is never that bad.

I think the 20mm is a full frame lens? I really wish the lens makers would employ some easier names than DC, DG, DX, FX that even we men could remember.

There seems to be a steady, but low supply trickling into the amazon.de warehouses. Quite impressed by the body and lens so far. Also available at slightly higher price at amazon.fr.

I saw that you mentioned that before. Thanks for the tip!

As I think about it, they may very well have had a dp4m ready for beta trials.. But there could have been parallel development in the Quattro and given they are pushing for a summer release to me, make me wonder if a last minute breakthrough, shelved the dp4m. We may still c that dp4 but now it will be a Quattro sensor.
I hope they do a dp type csc eventually. Given I have a sd1m, not sure right now if I would pick up a dp4q.

Frankly, I don't really care if it is Merrill or Quattro. Well, maybe I do, since I have no idea yet what the Quattro is like, and I do know and love the Merrill. But I'd just like to see a fixed lens perfectly mated to the sensor DP that goes wider than 28. And for my purposes, smaller is definitely better.

As you know, Gary, it sounds like the SD2 with Quattro could be announced at Photokina and come to market before a new DP model comes out in 2015.
"Betting on a DSLR announcement at Photokina (September 16 to 21 in Cologne, Germany) is not a big risk, but we can always be surprised." - See more at: http://sigma-rumors.com/2014/03/sigma-cameras-lenses-rumors/#sthash.lIjx2bN6.ukHv9uoF.dpuf
Gotta love sigma... they are nuts. In a good way.

I kind of think next cp+ myself.. Mainly because the Quattro seemed to gave been pushed out only just in tine for cp+ this year and was I think just barely beta if not alpha quality code from what I have heard.
I think what is interesting is that
- it does not sound like a zoom version of dp Quattro will ever happen
- they are looking into other camera types which may mean csc.
- they redesigned the camera to have a grip that would allow a stable and sharp shot even when held one handed.
I do believe u are right we may c something new in the foveon family by September, but not sure which new csc, dp4 or sd2. If they do a ff sd2, at the same photsite cell count as current Quattro or greater, it could be more of a cp+ timeframe. If it is exactly the same as current Quattro, September is could be the target.
Since u are based out of Europe, are u going to Cologne?

Forgot to mention, as we get closer to September, if it looks like there could be csc, I may go for that instead of a sd2.
