BODY
Magnesium body
The SD1 is the first in the SD series to
adopt a magnesium alloy body.
This rigid, tough yet lightweight body
securely protects the interior from
shock and electromagnetic interference,
while adding strength and durability to
withstand challenging conditions.
Weather and dust resistance
Controls and joints are sealed to block
dust and moisture from entering the card
slot, battery room and other parts of the
camera interior. This enhances reliability
in harsh professional usage situations.
DRIVE MODE
Two-motor system prevents vibration
Using a two-motor system with dedicated
motors for mirror-drive and shutter charge
reduces the vibration of mirror movement,
thereby preventing camera shake. A mirror
lock-up mechanism prevents further
vibration when the shutter is released.
Preventing camera shake is especially
important for macro photography and
when using ultra-telephoto lenses.
VIEWFINDER
Bright, wide-coverage viewfinder
with integral pentaprism
The SD1 features a pentaprism viewfinder
with 98% (vertical and horizontal)
Rugged new body. Unbending policy. Built like a true flagship
At Sigma, camera design has always
been guided by one principle: a camera is
a precision instrument that should respond
faithfully and directly to the photographer's
intention. The SD1 takes this to new
heights of perfection, offering even greater
possibilities of sophisticated, nuanced
expression, while serving the artist
as a career partner.
The SD1 is the first Sigma camera to have
a magnesium alloy body for rugged
durability and resistance to water and dust.
This represents a comprehensive approach
to maximizing camera performance,
just as the internal circuitry is optimized
for processing high-resolution data.
The redesigned user interface is
ergonomically engineered to provide
intuitive control with extended
operational convenience to help the
photographer concentrate on the
photographic task at hand.
More than any words or specifications, it is
only by taking the SD1 in your hands that you
can understand how this camera represents
the latest evolution of Sigma's dedication
to pushing digital camera design into new
dimensions of practical performance.
