First attempt at submission
 
Testing the DP1M at dusk. I stepped out behind my house.. Typical Arizona sunset going on, giving that "painted desert" look. These were long exposures. Camera on a Gitzo CF tripod. I'm astounded at the sharpness and detail rendered by this camera... even all the way out to the edges of the frame.

1/4 sec. f/6.3 ISO 200 - unfortunately, the sky was quite blown out in these first images, resulting in funky color rendition after attempts to correct.

What an amazing landscape you live in . I found with these DP cameras sometimes you take photographs of things simply to seem the amount of detail they capture and for no other reason. That does not always produces great photographs but in this case as above the landscape is full of things which bring to the fore, a good reason to have a camera that can capture such detail. Maybe the best type of landscape for this is surrounding you.

Julian... you have created some fantastic images with your Merrills. And you're right, the details that can be captured are simply amazing! I have just begun my imaging journey with the DP1M and DP3M, so I'm really looking forward to the imaging opportunities that lie ahead.
 
Interesting you have a 1 & 3 similar to myself currently thinking about taking advantage of the 2 price, however wonder if it could be to close with the others have you any thoughts

Hi Bill... while it would be nice to have all three, yes, I do think that if you have the DP1M and the DP3M, that the 2 would probably not see much use and may not make a lot of economic sense.
 
How well does the Dp3 stitch in Panorama ?

In film when all I had was a 50mm lens this was the only way i could get wideangle - it also offered less distortion over 2 - 3 shots

Bill I find the 2 fits very well along side the 1 & 3. which is most probably as I don't crop often at all, so like to have the 45mm for when it suits. A fine lens also on that camera. I'd actually have liked the dp1 to have been a bit wider maybe a 14mm / 24mm equivalent . But to have all three is a personal decision. I find I often have two camera's round my neck, one being on a shorter strap so they do not knock each other. One can be tucked inside a buttoned shirt or jacket. Depending on what I am photographing I either have the 1&2 out or the 2&3 and can easily switch between. I find it works very well.
One here stitched several images DP3 good to view large ;Here;eden

Dull day attempting to walk just over the border into Powys. But this valley was rather attractive even on a grey afternoon, and the DP2M shows every flippin' detail....if you go to 100% you can easily see the sheep in the field on the hillside in the middle of the image. More than I could see with the naked eye, that's for sure.
