i would love to start a thread and just state that i love the rd1.

not full frame

a measly 6 mp

not the most robust camera ever made

1.53 crop factor

poor battery life

makes great images

i love the black & white that i get out of it

yeah, i'd love to start a thread and say that i am in complete nirvana with this camera but i would hate to see the bloody arguments that it would start...

oh well, back to the oly digi-pen thread...
 
Seems like a very cool camera to me, especially now that cameraleather.com has covers for it. I like that little analog dial on it. What is that for, battery life?
 
Well, I'm going to hot things up by stating that the RD1 has no crop factor.


I know, I know you technocrats are right that in comparison to a 35mm film negative there is a crop. Like back alley joe said, the RD1 is a mighty fine picture taking machine. :)

And since the Red Sox have a minor league team here I'll go with them over the yankees.
 
Judge not by the size of your sensor, it's how you use it that counts. ;)

Long in the tooth in a digital/disposable world, and suffering from the flaws of being the first of its kind, the RD-1 is none-the-less a very fun camera to use and craft images with. The quality of the images is still very fine and have charismatic quality.

cheers
 
The RD-1 is nice, but it doesn't have one of those really cool EVFs. And no 20x zoom lens! :)

Maybe someone will make a film back for it some day?
