Successor of a proven classic

I have the Sigma DP1s bought as successor of my DP1. As I have already written a detailed review for DP1, I will limit myself in this review on the essential technical differences between the two cameras.
But the fact is that DP1s is not a camera for casual and automatic clippers, and it demands the respectful treatment of time for the subject, aperture, shutter speed and ISO setting.
Just so that sizable shots in RAW format can be created, which without competition in this price range
are. The convincing USPs of DP1s are still the large-scale, three-layer Foveon-
Recording chip, the high quality coated optical lens with a fixed focal length of 28mm, and the compact housing which provides full mobility unlike an SLR.

The innovations of DP1s are:

* The buttons for digital zoom can now also, as with the DP2 and SD14,
With quick set as ISO, self-timer, AWB, image settings, etc. is
* Backlit motives is now better record the camera; tonwertreich and three-dimensional effect,
the so-called. Grapes in backlight will no longer occur, that I could due to the current
Not test unfortunately: weather conditions (super weather no sun, a lot of rain!)
* The storage time in the RAW format has become Felt 1-2 seconds faster
* The lens extends, in my opinion a little quieter and gentler in the respective postition
* The lens cap sits more tightly on the lens
* After a recording in RAW format can not, as in the DP2, to work immediately on even the DP1s enforces a brief second thought by photographer.
* Reds are displayed realistically according to my sense of color

With regard to the sensitivity of the Auto Focus is less bright light, so when DP1s no improvements have been made.
All other functions, operating buttons, user menu, flash output and the housing itself are the same.
Similarly, packaging and included accessories (software), and there are no new features.

Of course, still fit all attachments and accessories such review viewfinder, external flash, lens hood and spare battery on / in the DP1s.

The battery power of DP1s I think is right, I could now generate about 300 images in wintry conditions recording on a single charge.

The shots with the DP1s continue mercilessly realistic, sharp and act easily in three dimensions,
In short, a feast for the eyes.
