Bought this camera about 2 months ago and for some reason it took almost that time to arrive, all I can say is never send anything via USPS's First Class International service!
The camera is very clean and although there one or two slight marks it's easily in mint -/excellent condition. I was mainly worried about what I had read about the delicate lens assembly and the RF patch. From my experience thus far the lens is perfectly stable and doesn't feel particularly delicate and I have no worries about tossing (literally!) the camera into my backpack. The RF patch is a little small and disappears very easily if you do not position your eye directly in the center of the viewfinder. In low light it really isn't very useful, but that isn't to say you can't get by without too much trouble.
As they say, the proof is in the pudding:
All shot on Delta 400 processed in Fotospeed FD10
And for the sake of it, a couple of 100% crops, this lens really is very sharp!
