do you consider your rd1 with the upgraded software to be an rd1s?
or is it only the body with the s on it that is a true rd1s?
do you care?

Yes, I care!
Because the R-D1s doesn't have a rangefinder than I can adjust.
R-D1s is worse IMO, need to avoid.

There are some real upgrades.
The one I have used is dead pixel mapping.
Dead pixels are a reality with digital imaging.
Having the camera map them is a real deal upgrade.
Could not tell you what the other changes are 😉

The dead pixel mapping comes from the software AFAIK

Is it an important question ? At the moment, they are only two digital rangefinder available on the market. M or R. Obviously, each owner of one or other concept has is reasons.
Personnaly I choose to buy an used rd1s instead of an M something. Why ? Since I use digital, my only lost picture was with an M8.2 a dealer lend me for a test before purchasing it. So i found an rd1s in japan with 1 year waranty.
I do not have any regrets about it. Even with some troubles using it, understanding the behaviour of the metering and the unacurate framing. Doesn't matter. With this camera, you are between two worlds, the cocking lever reminds you the film era, and elecronics the digital world. Great. A really piece of photographic history.
My hope, that Epson will continue to produce and maybe improve these series
The next will be mine.

The only enhancement that I'm not sure is firmware-only is the RAW buffer increase from 2 to 3. Was that done by modifying the firmware only, or did they add a physical memory location in the R-D1s?

Another rather important upgrade was the ability to capture RAW+JPEG, not just RAW OR JPEG.

I have the R-D1 and I upgraded the firmware myself to the "S" level (so i know it was done properly, and all the upgraded features are functioning).
I consider the camera an R-D1S.
In my mind it is a real R-D1S, but if insanity strikes me and for some reason I was to list it to sell it, I'd call it an R-D1 with upgraded R-D1s firmware, not a R-D1S since the body does not have "S" printed on it.
(P.S. - no, I do not care) 🙂

Firmware is the only functional difference between an R-D1 and R-D1s. My source for this is Epson (way back when).
