2gb max, and it doesn't matter how fast it is--write speed is the same regardless.

Funny, the R-D1 seems to generate more interest now than when it first came out!

Maybe Epson and Cosina could be convinced to start working on a R-D2?
I'd like a better digital RF, but the M8 feels too digital for my taste.

i think maybe it's connected to all the buzz about the g1 and it's ability to use m mount lenses.
i have always been interested in the rd1 but when it was new, i couldn't/wouldn't afford it and as it aged i was hesitent to buy a used camera that was discontinued. but now i don't care so much about that. i have fun with the g1 and i think the rd1 will be even more fun. and the g1 with kit lenses is still fun and produces some very nice images. and i still can use my m lenses on it.
think of the variety of focal lengths that gives a limited number of lens.
on film, on the rd1 and on the g1 my 35 is a 35, a 53 and a 70.

that is flexibilty.

and it's the rd1s model.

is it more than just a software update??

I think the only real physical difference is the way the rangefinder alignment mechanism is put together. People have reported having a hard time adjusting the rangefinder on the R-D1s, as opposed to the R-D1, if it goes out of alignment.

Also, and this is utterly minor, I've noticed that the R-D1s has a slightly more pebbled texture to the paint finish (which I like), and a more positive click to the jog dial's movement.

Otherwise, they're the same camera, mod the firmware upgrade.
