Re: The R-D1... I have one. The entire camera is mechanical so you wind on. The only digital bit is the pickup. That means it hardly uses any power, so I can take shots on my R-D1 even when the battery has run down, as long as there's a trace charge left... which there always is in a battery anyway... you can keep shooting. Its a great camera. Don't be put off by the 6mp CCD. It can be switched for a 10mp unit if you send it off to the states and besides that it uses Leica M-Lens' so the picture quality is totally amazing. They are hard to find as they only produced a limited number and the Japanese are mad for them so they're all over there. They crop up on ebay from time to time.
- By the way, if you buy one, make sure you get a Leica 50mm lens.. the only lens worth putting on a rangefinder IMHO.Studiospooky
