Compact and Robust Design

The Sigma DP3 Merrill is a compact, fixed-lens camera centered on a **46MP APS-C** sensor paired with a **Dual TRUE II Image Processing Engine**. It shoots stills at a maximum resolution of **4704x3136** in both **RAW and JPEG**, and supports burst shooting at up to **4 frames per second**. The body is constructed from **metal**, measuring **121.5 x 66.7 x 80.6 mm** and weighing **400g**, giving it a solid feel despite its compact classification. The rear **3.0-inch TFT LCD** offers **920,000 dots** of resolution for a clear view during composition and playback. ISO sensitivity spans **100 to 6400**, and autofocus is handled by a **contrast detection** system with manual focus also available. Storage uses **SD and SDHC** cards, and the camera connects via **USB**. Video can be recorded at **30fps** in **8-bit** with a Standard color profile. The battery is a **Lithium-Ion** type rated for approximately **100–150 shots** per charge. There is no weather sealing, no image stabilization, and no wireless connectivity.

The Foveon X3 direct image sensor captures full color data at every pixel location, producing exceptionally detailed files compared to conventional Bayer sensors.

Foveon APS-C Sensor

Two TRUE II processors work in tandem to handle the substantial data output of the Foveon sensor for improved rendering speed and image quality.

Dual TRUE II Processing

The fixed 50mm f/2.8 lens (75mm equivalent on APS-C) is optimized specifically for this sensor, making it well-suited to portraits and detail-oriented subjects.

75mm Equivalent Fixed Lens

Shoots in Sigma's X3F RAW format as well as JPEG, giving photographers the option to process files in Sigma Photo Pro for maximum image quality.

RAW and JPEG Capture

The all-metal chassis gives the camera a solid, premium feel relative to its compact size.

Metal Body Construction

A high-resolution rear display serves as the primary composition and playback tool, with no viewfinder present on the body.

3.0-Inch 920K-Dot LCD

Native sensitivity spans ISO 100 to 6400, though the Foveon sensor is best used at lower ISOs where its detail advantage is most pronounced.

ISO 100–6400 Range

Contrast-detect AF provides accurate focusing, with manual focus also available for precise control in macro and studio work.
