Just sold my rd-1

[Gary Sandhu]

Just sold it on ebay, after getting the M8. The biggest reason for keeping it for me was the 1:1 viewfinder, but the 1.25x magnifier on the M8 allows me to shoot with both eyes open. The M8's auto shutter cocking was a boon. Also, the M8 comes with warranty. I wish the M8 had the Epson's controls -- or better, the Hexar RF's. It was really a toss up. Both cameras are superb. The RD is a lot easier to grip, though.

I specifically bought my RD-1 (refurb) to keep as a backup if and when I decide to buy an M8, since buying two M8's is not even in the realm of consideration. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do, and could be happy keeping it by itself . Which is a good thing because every time I decide today's the day I'm ordering an M8 I read another half dozen reports of different problems and get cold feet again.
