In this final comparison I took the DP1 Quattro and DP1 Merrill to the Yorkshire Dales. Along with the DP3 Merrill.
Again the Quattro proved to be by far the better camera … but this comparison is purely about image quality … and as beauty is in the eye of the beholder I’ll let you make your own minds up.
This first view was from our bedroom window at Simonstone Hall. Not a bad scene to wake up to!

Shooting Notes
Both shots are taken at ISO100 and on a tripod with a 2 second delay. The shots were taken within the time it takes to take one camera off the tripod and stick the other on. All shots have been processed in SPP with no noise reduction and a little sharpening, and finished in Lightroom with the same settings.
