SIGMA DP SERIES VISION

FRESH HORIZONS OF INNOVATION

The Sigma DP Series. A ground-breaking concept:

Compact cameras with the full performance of a

digital SLR. Sized perfectly to go everywhere you

do and stunning image quality that maintains its

integrity when enlarged. Here is an all-new genre

of compact cameras delivering photographic

excellence that exceeds all expectations given its

very compact size.

Praised and embraced by demanding

photographers around the globe. Designed to

inspire a fresh approach to creative photography.

Until the DP Series there was no such thing as a

DSLR-spec compact. That it heralded the birth of

a new category is testimony to its impact. Today’s

high-performance compacts all follow in its

footsteps.

It was not Sigma’s intention to do anything radical.

Our goal has always been to achieve a purer, more

honest rendition of the world we see. After all,

truth is the essence of photography. But the

pursuit of this fundamental functionality resulted

in technology capable of capturing every nuance

of light. In a camera that answers the call of

photographic artistry.

Next came Sigma’s flagship digital SLR: The

Sigma SD1 Merrill. Bringing subjects to life with

a three-dimensional feel that mirrors the scene’s

original ambience. The DP Merrill Series inherits

the same philosophy as our flagship camera, the

SD1 Merrill, of capturing photographic truth. It

achieves this by packing all the picture quality

and camera technology of the SD1 Merrill into

compact dimensions.

Discover the cameras that open up new

possibilities for image quality and photographic

expression: The DP Merrill Series. Now complete

with another fresh horizon of innovation.

CONCEPT

Now, your photographic toolkit

is complete.

The Sigma DP3 traces its lineage back

to March 2008 when the very first

model in the DP series was born.

At the time, that camera was one of

a kind — a fixed-lens compact equipped

with the large sensor of a DSLR.

Yet, single handedly, it created a whole

new camera category, one which

Sigma has continued to refine with

each new generation.

Sigma’s full color capture system

creates clear, sharp images with a

uniquely three-dimensional feel. With

its much higher pixel count, the larger

46MP new-generation sensor brings you

breathtaking definition, richly graduated

tonality and true-to-life texture.

The Sigma DP3 Merrill inherits the spirit

of the DP Series, delivering the imaging

performance of Sigma’s flagship DSLR,

the SD1 Merrill, in a compact package.

It’s a remarkable combination:

the ultra-high image quality of

a medium-format sensor in an ultra-

convenient compact format. Going

beyond mere high resolution into the

realm of artistic expression, this is

a camera that will both surprise and

delight the discerning photographer.

Integrated lens-camera construction

minimizes vibration arising in lens or

shutter mechanisms, while the contrast

detection autofocus system raises

focusing accuracy. You can count on

the DP3 to perform at your command

with quiet, positive precision.

The unique identity of the DP1 Merrill

is defined by its specially developed

wide-angle lens (equivalent to a 28mm

lens on a 35mm SLR), while the

DP2 Merrill frames subjects with

a “standard” focal length (equivalent to

a 45mm lens on a 35mm SLR).

Like its compatriots, the Sigma DP3

was designed for creative artists. It

is the latest member of an exclusive

group that weds compact, take-

everywhere convenience and genuine

photographic excellence.

The lens mounted on the Sigma DP3

Merrill is a medium-telephoto macro

lens (equivalent to a 75mm lens on

a 35mm SLR) specifically developed

for this camera and exemplifying

Sigma’s optical engineering expertise.

Whether you’re shooting at infinity

or the minimum focusing distance,

imaging performance is impeccable,

and the cropping effect of medium-

telephoto macro shooting enables

you to capture your vision with frame-

filling impact. From macro images to

portraiture, this lens offers an artistic

palette capable of exquisite delicacy,

profundity and narrative power.

Each camera in the DP series features

a state of the art lens matched to

a state-of the art sensor. Now the

DP3 Merrill expands your expressive

potential.

You are the conductor and the Sigma

DP series is your orchestra. The DP3

Merrill is a new instrument with which

to enrich your photographic repertoire.

SIGMA DP3 Merrill Meets PRAGUE

A crispness in the breeze signals

a change in the seasons.

I think of the light of Prague

in the winter, captured by the

Czechoslovakian photographer Sudek.

How many times have I visited

Prague in search of that light?

Eventually I had to accept the fact that

it exists only in the realm of his photos.

But maybe I can find

a light that is all mine.

It’s time to visit Prague again.

SIGMA DP3 Merrill Meets

PRAGUE

A longing for simpler times

THE HIDDEN COLORS OF AUTUMN :

Autumn in Prague. The days are short

and the sun shines weakly from a heavily

clouded sky, washing the monochromatic

landscape with only the palest hint of color.

I waited for the sun to peek through a gap

in the clouds before releasing the shutter,

and when it did, the SIGMA DP3 Merrill’s

Foveon X3 sensor captured every precious

ray of light, revealing every detail, from the

metallic sheen of the river to the intricate

detail of an old ironwork bridge.

A HUNGER FOR LIFE : The autumn leaves seem different somehow in Prague. I think it is probably because many of the trees in the city are

willows and other types whose leaves do not change color before they fall. The result is a carpet of green leaves, seemingly still hungry for the

sun. Spotting a pair of leaves still clinging tenaciously to life, I moved in close to capture their poignant loneliness.

SIGMA DP3 Merrill Meets PRAGUE

ILLUMINATED BY THE PAST :

There is an inherent coolness to the

works of many Czech photographers, but

the great Josef Sudek is an exception.

Despite the wartime loss of one arm, he

tirelessly photographed the city of Prague,

producing images of great warmth and

affection. In this shot, which I took in the

hallway leading to Sudek’s atelier, the light

reflecting off the wall was like a gift from

the great man himself, a photographic

opportunity of rare moment.

THE VALUE OF SIMPLICITY : I came upon this chair outside a locksmith’s shop at Praha-Holešovice railway station, and was immediately struck

by its stark simplicity. Battered and worn, it looked almost ready for the trash. But it was still usable, and had been kindly placed there for

customers to sit on while they waited to have their keys duplicated. Coming upon it suddenly, I felt like I had discovered something that I myself

had misplaced long ago. It was the importance of simplicity, the value of a job performed humbly and efficiently.

To me, every subject represents a new adventure. But sometimes I wonder … To go to a place, discover something, and record its existence in a

photograph … What does it really mean? Pondering the nature of my own creative impulse, I set off again in search of adventure.

SIGMA DP3 Merrill Meets PRAGUE

A VOYAGE OF SELF-DISCOVERY :

As a travel destination, Prague has much

to offer. Much more, in fact, than the

architectural and historical wonders for which

it is famous. I believe the real Prague is more

than the sum of its vaunted tourist attractions

— they are only one part of the picture.

As I walked the city, I focused the lens of my

camera on the things that spoke to my heart.

The exterior of an old building, its surface

scarred by the passage of centuries … the

worn, cobblestone pavement … a battered,

yet still usable chair. Each of these things

spoke to me, and I replied in turn — with my

heart as well as my camera. Like passengers

riding somberly together on the city’s trams,

I recognized each as a fellow-traveler,

a living reminder of something precious that

I had forgotten in my own past.

The act of photographing something, of

recording its visual image, is essentially

a voyage of self-discovery. I am the things

I photograph. What matters is not how I take

a photo, but how I feel when I take it. It is

a living record of who I am at that moment

in time, a precious memory to keep forever.

See what you feel

Texture that’s indescribably lifelike. Rich tonal gradation.

Honestly natural image quality rendered by

our new-generation 46-megapixel sensor.

New-generation Foveon sensor

for ‘emotional image quality’

with a dramatically boosted pixel count.

The Sigma DP3 Merrill is equipped with

the same 46MP Foveon X3 Direct Image

Sensor as in the SD1 Merrill DSLR.

Compared to the previous Foveon sensor,

this new generation has an expanded area

matching the APS-C format (50% greater

equivalent focal length). It also has a

narrower pixel pitch, thereby dramatically

raising the total pixel count.

In fact, we have achieved an extraordinary

46MP (4,800 x 3,200 x 3) effective pixels,

triple the previous number.

This provides luminance resolution

equivalent to that of a 30MP CFA sensor

as measured on the standard B&W

resolution chart used in conventional

digital camera resolution testing.

Medium-format-grade sensor

redefines image quality with its rich

and wide range of expression

With its much higher pixel count, the

new Foveon X3 Direct Image Sensor

realizes medium-format image generation

capability, while retaining the “emotional

image quality” unique to our full color

capture system.

Sigma’s Dual TRUE II image processing

engine was specially developed to process

vast volumes of data at blazing speed,

generating richly detailed images of

amazing depth, which can be enjoyed

even in large print formats.

Eye-opening sharpness. Natural edge

definition. Finely graduated tonality …

Here is a camera that redefines “high

image quality” and invites you into a fresh

dimension of visual experience.

The ‘Merrill’ name

Dick Merrill (1949-2008), co-developer of the

revolutionary Foveon image capture system, was

both a brilliant engineer and talented photographer.

As an expression of Sigma’s passion for photography

and in honor of Dick Merrill’s ability to realize artistic

ideals through technology, we have named this

new-generation sensor the “Merrill.”

It’s not just about seeing.

Photographic expression involves

capturing what you feel.

Here is a sensor with a richness of imaging data

that can rock your heart and soul.

software available today. It has precisely the

functions you really need — no more, no less.

Even if you are new to RAW file formats, the

intuitive interface makes it easy to use.

For image correction, the Adjustment

Controls Palette offers seven parameters:

exposure, contrast, shadows, highlights,

color saturation, sharpness, and the X3

Fill Light feature. Together with the Color

Wheel, these versatile tools let you craft

original masterpieces of photographic art.

To bring out the full potential of the

46MP image data captured by the new-

the full range of functions also includes

white balance control, highlight correction,

noise reduction and transverse aberration

correction.

THE VALUE OF SIMPLICITY : I came upon this chair outside a locksmith’s shop at Praha-Holešovice railway station, and was immediately struck

by its stark simplicity. Battered and worn, it looked almost ready for the trash. But it was still usable, and had been kindly placed there for

customers to sit on while they waited to have their keys duplicated. Coming upon it suddenly, I felt like I had discovered something that I myself

had misplaced long ago. It was the importance of simplicity, the value of a job performed humbly and efficiently.

To me, every subject represents a new adventure. But sometimes I wonder … To go to a place, discover something, and record its existence in a

photograph … What does it really mean? Pondering the nature of my own creative impulse, I set off again in search of adventure.

SIGMA DP3 Merrill Meets PRAGUE

A VOYAGE OF SELF-DISCOVERY :

As a travel destination, Prague has much

to offer. Much more, in fact, than the

architectural and historical wonders for which

it is famous. I believe the real Prague is more

than the sum of its vaunted tourist attractions

— they are only one part of the picture.

As I walked the city, I focused the lens of my

camera on the things that spoke to my heart.

The exterior of an old building, its surface

scarred by the passage of centuries … the

worn, cobblestone pavement … a battered,

yet still usable chair. Each of these things

spoke to me, and I replied in turn — with my

heart as well as my camera. Like passengers

riding somberly together on the city’s trams,

I recognized each as a fellow-traveler,

a living reminder of something precious that

I had forgotten in my own past.

The act of photographing something, of

recording its visual image, is essentially

a voyage of self-discovery. I am the things

I photograph. What matters is not how I take

a photo, but how I feel when I take it. It is

a living record of who I am at that moment

in time, a precious memory to keep forever.

Texture that’s indescribably lifelike. Rich tonal gradation.

Honestly natural image quality rendered by

our new-generation 46-megapixel sensor.

New-generation Foveon sensor

for ‘emotional image quality’

with a dramatically boosted pixel count.

The Sigma DP3 Merrill is equipped with

the same 46MP Foveon X3 Direct Image

Sensor as in the SD1 Merrill DSLR.

Compared to the previous Foveon sensor,

this new generation has an expanded area

matching the APS-C format (50% greater

equivalent focal length). It also has a

narrower pixel pitch, thereby dramatically

raising the total pixel count.

In fact, we have achieved an extraordinary

46MP (4,800 x 3,200 x 3) effective pixels,

triple the previous number.

This provides luminance resolution

equivalent to that of a 30MP CFA sensor

as measured on the standard B&W

resolution chart used in conventional

digital camera resolution testing.

Medium-format-grade sensor

redefines image quality with its rich

and wide range of expression

With its much higher pixel count, the

new Foveon X3 Direct Image Sensor

realizes medium-format image generation

capability, while retaining the “emotional

image quality” unique to our full color

capture system.

Sigma’s Dual TRUE II image processing

engine was specially developed to process

vast volumes of data at blazing speed,

generating richly detailed images of

amazing depth, which can be enjoyed

even in large print formats.

Eye-opening sharpness. Natural edge

definition. Finely graduated tonality …

Here is a camera that redefines “high

image quality” and invites you into a fresh

dimension of visual experience.

The ‘Merrill’ name

Dick Merrill (1949-2008), co-developer of the

revolutionary Foveon image capture system, was

both a brilliant engineer and talented photographer.

As an expression of Sigma’s passion for photography

and in honor of Dick Merrill’s ability to realize artistic

ideals through technology, we have named this

new-generation sensor the “Merrill.”

It’s not just about seeing.

Photographic expression involves

capturing what you feel.

Here is a sensor with a richness of imaging data

that can rock your heart and soul.

More convenient and flexible than ever:

SIGMA Photo Pro

SIGMA Photo Pro software is designed

for the creative photographer who wishes

to personally control the image finishing

process. It allows you to "develop" the

image data you shot in RAW mode.

Ever since we made our first digital camera,

we have continued to refine our RAW

data processing technology. The result,

we believe, is the finest digital darkroom

software available today. It has precisely the

functions you really need — no more, no less.

Even if you are new to RAW file formats, the

intuitive interface makes it easy to use.

For image correction, the Adjustment

Controls Palette offers seven parameters:

exposure, contrast, shadows, highlights,

color saturation, sharpness, and the X3

Fill Light feature. Together with the Color

Wheel, these versatile tools let you craft

original masterpieces of photographic art.

To bring out the full potential of the

46MP image data captured by the new-

generation Foveon X3 Direct Image Sensor,

the full range of functions also includes

white balance control, highlight correction,

noise reduction and transverse aberration

correction.

A new monochrome interface lets you create

powerful and authentic black-and-white

images using the complete light information

captured by the Direct Image Sensor.
