Sigma DP3 Merrill with full range of creative shooting modes
If you want
a digital camera with excellent image quality at lower ISOs you can choose
Sigma DP3 Merrill. This camera also has
very sharp lens, simple interface and solid build quality. You can enjoy better
high ISO image performance than previous cameras but still can’t keep up with
most other modern sensors. The cameras have
always exhibited exceptional low ISO abilities and some extremely detailed and
chromatically-rich RAW files.
