Camera manufacturer Sigma has unveiled a new addition to their range
at CES 2013 this week, announcing the arrival of the new Sigma DP3
Merrill, which is equipped with a 50mm F2.8 lens. The
Sigma DP3 Merrill is the next generation of cameras from the
manufacturer and offers a Foveon X3 image sensor with 46 megapixels to
hand, offering 4,800×3,200×3 layers and 44 recording megapixels
4,704×3,136×3 layers. ![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-njwxxjOXj3U/UO7C1CrdluI/AAAAAAAABWw/DX2_54IGn0k/s640/dell-lat10.jpg)
"The
Foveon X3 direct image sensor captures all primary RGB colors at each
and every pixel location with 3 layers, ensuring the capture of full and
complete color. Since color moiré is not generated, the use of a
low-pass filter is not required, meaning light and color are captured by
the 46 megapixel 23.5×15.7mm full-color X3 Merrill sensor with a
three-dimensional feel.” Other features include a Dual
TRUE II image processing engine, 7 frames continuous shooting, auto and
manual focus options, RAW+JPEG format recording, and a 3.0″ TFT color
LCD Monitor to name just a few. "ISO sensitivity can be
set from ISO 100 to ISO 6400. By setting the range to 1/3 EV steps from
the default 1 EV steps, it is possible to set the sensitivity to ISO
125 or ISO 160. ISO AUTO, where the camera automatically sets the ISO
sensitivity according to brightness of the shooting environment enables
you to set the upper limit and lower limit depending on your shooting
style.”
