Had the R-D1 for half a year now. It's wonderful! No more hassle with having film developed and scanning it (I still have some 200 rolls left that need scanning!), on the fly changing iso value, wonderful colour rendition, good noise supression at high iso, compact, M mount... I couldn't ask for more. A lower price would be nice, though. RML http://shardsofphotography.blogspot.com/ What can I say?! Had the R-D1 for half a year now. It's wonderful!

I'd dish out $3k for a Leica though, and I am accepting donations to make that a reality ;-) ~if Jim's did not sting enough...*slap, slap*~

If that's your situation, what other option do you have? BTW, I think they'll sell all 10,000 easily.

Hahaha, that really is perfect! Leica have the digital back coming out right? That's like $3500 by itself I think. You have to wind it? Hahaha, that really is perfect!

The important thing here is the leica glass... interchangable lenses... compact size, etc. Sure the major complaint on this unit is the 1.5 maginification - since the widest leica lens that would work on this is a 21mm, you barely get a decent wide angle -- although there are voigtlander lenses that are wider. The winder is a dorky item for sure... but dorky in a camera geek kind of way. :) ah... you kids just don't understand
