However, the DP1s has a woeful dynamic range. A serious landscape camera needs to record a respectable dynamic range. How is the dynamic range of the SDQ? Is the Super Fine Detail Mode a bandaid for a limited dynamic range? Using ETTR with the K5 yielded virtually unlimited dynamic range - more than I usually needed. And the shadows lifted wonderfully.

I know the SDQ will not have the dynamic range. But, how bad is it?

Read the review on DPreview, main complaint is lack of DR.

I don't own a Quattro sensor Sigma, but there is a lot of talk here on this forum on DR, what I can see on many images, it's DR is very bad.

If you are in the woods, expose for the shadows, forget it you can have a clear blue sky between the branches in harsh light conditions.

I should buy another Pentax.
