I got a DP2S to try out a Sigma because I couldn't afford the Merrill. I love the camera, limitations (all of which I can live with) notwithstanding, and now hunger for the DP2 Merrill. I have my E-5 for birding, for low light situations, etc. But there are over 300 bright, sunny days a year where I live in the desert Southwestern U.S., and far from needing more high iso performance from the Merrill, I'm disappointed they did away with the iso 50 of the previous models. I use it constantly on my 2S.
