RD- 1 breakup letter

Sometime (when the overdraft bites especially hard) I toy with the idea of selling one system or the other - some days it's the R-D1, others it's the 5D.

Trouble is, the more I think about it, the more I realise that I get a completely different experience from each of them, and I like both.

The RF is something you look through - you have to engage with the subject. It's a visceral experience for me.

The DSLR is something you look AT - the screen - so it becomes more intellectual/aethetic. I think about the images more with the 5D, and shoot more by instinct with the R-D1.

Seems to me you can't get both in one package <sigh> (does that sound like marriage?)
