Positives:
+ Very compact light meter with the battery weighs 99 g; the housing is stiff and feels sufficiently wertig to
+ Measured values can also be in 1/3 EV steps show (but not in Gossen DigiFlash F or Starlite 2)
+ Display can be easily read under all lighting conditions (even at max sunlight.) And points of view; clear and distinct representation of the essence
+ When the flash metering the flash light component is displayed to the ambient light in percent (acting for natural images)
+ Firmware update via USB interface possible (Update settled perform relatively easily)
+ High accuracy and sensitivity, despite the relatively small dome (Reference: Sekonic L 758 DR)
+ Due to the ease of use and high sensitivity, the DIGISKY is very suitable for night shots in the object measuring mode
+ Aperture / time delay
+ Radio module (I have not tested)
+ Cinefunktion
+ Battery almost discharged despite many measurements
Neutral:
o cap can not be swiveled
o device-specific 3.7V LiIon Battery
Negatives:
- ISO button is missing; Setting the ISO is relatively time-consuming menu after many clicks possible; 3 camera profiles can be saved to simplify (changing light conditions and modern digital cameras are not sufficiently taken into account - will hopefully through a firmware update takes into account).
- Both hands are needed to turn; Knob should be grippy
- Changing the values by single clicks - changes should by continuous pressure on the controller to bicycle trips (eg ISO 50-6400 -> many single clicks required; hopefully changed through firmware update)
- It is saved only the last measured value; otherwise no storage of measured values is possible (but contrast measurement is very easy).
- To remove the battery cover (eg reset) both hands + Phillips screwdriver required
- Housing does not seem to be splashproof, no rubber seal of the battery compartment
- Display and housing made of plastic (scratch resistant Gorilla glass and metal housing have increased the value).
- The usage may be for the experienced user self-explanatory, but I would have liked to take the User Guide on CD-ROM, a printed manual with practical examples preferable as filter correction values, landscapes etc.
Conclusion:
Very good and compact device with an innovative operating concept that will hopefully develop in details through firmware updates.
