Ha! Mabel is the old lady who lived in our current house for fifty years...Mabel Sound is the joke name for my home recording studio.

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...
I like mine too (RD1S), and agree with you points, but one - battery life on mine if fine. Maybe you need some new/better batteries?

actually my battery life is ok too but it seems to be a complaint from a few.

It could be worst.
We could be talking Red Sox vs Yankees.
Or Dodgers, Angels, or Lakers. Sorry, just not impressed with someone's abilty to do acrobatics with a ball. Id prefer the Chinese circus....cure cancer or initiate health care reform, now that would impress me.
Thank you.

I miss my R-D1. Yes the pictures it took were like signatures, unique. But the I miss all the cameras I have sold. Did I say go Red Sox? No.....ok GO RED SOX!!!!

I can't see how the RD-1 can possibly work; it has an optical VF and interchangeable lenses....

Totally true. It feels and works like a manual film camera. I can't remember the last time I flipped the lcd screen around to chimp, I feel totally at home with it. I love it to death. Complaints? Some batteries seem to have much more life than others, but that's about it.

Judge not by the size of your sensor, it's how you use it that counts.![]()
That's what you guys with small sensors always say

My battery life is quite good. I think I would want an M8 or M8.2, but would still keep the R-D1 (s). Fortunately for me, I'm too poor for the Leica so the M6 will have to suffice.

Oh Gawd, I'm crackin'up here.

That's funny- maybe the three (coincidence?) that I have are easier for me to focus that the Bessa R2. The 1x finder is nice.
I may pick up an RD-1 if one pops up at a good price. I'll have to post a "mortality" thread. My 1992 and 1997 DSLRS's are still working. Even the SCSI hard drive in the DCS200 is functioning correctly. I have a spare to replace it with.

i never had a problem focussing my p's but after i started to use the m3 and then the zi, i realized that the round patch was harder for me to focus than a sq/rec patch. it seems less precise.
