Shootout: Sigma DP2 Merrill vs Sony DSC-RX100

Wow! The most interesting such comparison that I’ve done in a while: the 14.75-megapixel true-coor Sigma DP2 Merill vs the 20-megapixel Sony RX 100.

Shooting this was a grind; the Sony RX100 is terrific for what it is, but such a headache in several ways for making a comparison; the Sigma DP2 Merrill is very well behaved by comparison. Sigma could take cool-tech lessons from Sony, and Sony could take usability lessons from Sigma.
