Heard that Epson are considering pulling the RD-1x off the market even before they hit the shelves

The best camera is one that still works!
What ... all these threads and posts and emotional energy expended for zilch!

Maybe someone at Epson has read all the Internet stuff and told the Board of Directors that the jig is up and maybe they couldn't actually sell a several years old 6 mp camera for $3,000?

Or maybe they mistook you for someone who was genuinely interested instead of a troll, and thought we didn't want this excellent camera to be re-released...

Hey, mani, that was supposed to be funny!
The reality, if it is true they will pull it, is probably a very dull result of the tanking economy. There will be a lot of victims of the current mess, I suspect.

I don't buy it. They were promising an April delivery and announced in early March? Production must've been complete or at least well underway. And from where I'm standing, as many people reacted positively as did negatively. I felt they were approaching this all wrong, but I never doubted they'd sell most of the small production run.
I guess we'll know soon enough.

I was at my local Yodobashi store yesterday and they have reduced the price of the last Epson R-D1s that they have on display from 249.000Yen to 209.000Yen (plus offering the 10% discount via their point system). Keen to see how long they keep that offer. They also used to have a Leica 50mm Summicron-M (silver) new in the box for 143.000Yen (including 15% discount) and finally lowered the price to 125.000 Yen ... When I decided to buy it it was sold ... :bang:
209,800 yen is the price Yodobashi used have on their website for the R-D1s before they deleted the page. Last September, I showed a printout of that page to the staff at the Yodobashi store in Yokohama and got them to reduce their shop price from 249,000 to match it (including points). The camera was for someone else though :bang:

I have been using the RD-1s for more than a year... I love it!
I can be perfect involved with my M-mount lenses and my digital rangefinder camera, the colors and performs that it gives are good for me, is the perfect camera for me.
If I have to take the decision to buy a new camera because my RD-1s is out or unrepairable, I'm sure that I will buy right now a RD-1x with a 6 MP sensor, the crop factor, etc... Who needs more technology? we are talking about rangefinder photography. For all the people that complain about all the old digital school inside of the RD-1x, they should try another option like the Leica M8.2 (don't feels like a classic camera) or maybe more tech in the Panasonic G1 (a SLR camera).
For me the R-D1 in all the following models still being the father of the completely manual digital rangefinder cameras.
Thanks EPSON to stay alive the RD-1, long life for the KiNG!!!

girls, just face it:
- the R-D1 has its followers (customers).
- 6 MPix are enough (for many applications)
- money is just money
so what? no one urges you to buy it.
edit: my number one camera is ..... (ta-daa) an R-D1.

Hey Jon, That was probably me & I'm so grateful for you doing thas a t. I love the R-D1s. It i'classic' camera in a world of 'me-to' digital cameras.
Thanks again!!

Bob, it was indeed your R-D1s
Since then, I've very nearly pulled the trigger on one for myself several times, but resisted the GAS, as I've had my fingers and toes crossed that Nikon (or someone else) would release a D-RF with a 1.33 or larger sensor. However, that now seems less and less likely considering the way the economy is going. Might have to jump on one of these R-D1s kits while they're still available :bang:Jon
