New RD-1x

I don't think it's worth buying a new one, unless your old one breaks. For me, the larger screen and higher write times don't outweigh the swivel screen, and they are certainly aren't worth 500 dollars more.

If I was buying one for the first time, though, I'd probably save up and get a new one.
 
yup, just that I've read too many stories of 3rd party batteries causing shutter jams or not maintaining capacity as well as the original battery.
 
the only 3rd party i've had that's been pretty solid is from Jessops in the UK. the rest suck.
 
I think this firms up used RD1 prices rather than causing them to go down. The camera lives...this bodes well for service and support. That adds value.
 
well, no matter the direction the price goes, i have decided to get rid of one of my g1 kits and put it towards another rd1.
maybe get rid of the r4a too...

I don't believe shutter jams being related to original or other batteries. My shutter froze after a days use of the original battery. The battery was at 2/3 capacity when the shutter froze.
I am expecting the camera back from Steve shortly.

fingers crossed!

And as soon as I get my baby back, trying out the 12 and the 21mm lenses. I've got both the CV and Avenon 21's coming!

I may want A grip. Not necessarily The 'G' grip. I will wait and see how the rubber holds out. I got rid of the rubber on the Digilux 2. Don't really want to make the R-D1 bigger than it already is.
