I've always wanted to compare this to my M8. I can't wait to use that manual shutter cock!
Maniac 🙂 EOM
Took the plunge today
Exciting! Let us know which you prefer!
CHeers,
ISO: sensitivity: M8, but it should be.
The shutter of the R-D1 is high pitched, true.
But I'm with Jim on the ISO. Try some 1600 shots with the R-D1. It outperforms the M8 at high ISO. Some M8 fans simply cannot accept this and I've seen them offer examples of perfectly noise-free ISO 2500 M8 shots, inevitably done in brightly lit conditions. But that's not when noise-free high ISO counts! Side by side photographing something like musicians in a dark club, I got far better results with the R-D1.
You're a brave man.

You have a Noctilux? Dang. We should have worked out a trade. 🙂
Merry X-mas! Thanks guys for turning me on to this camera. It's what the M8 should have been, never mind that .2 nonsense! I'm almost tempted to sell my M8 and buy another one but hey variety is the spice of life.
