Someone recently said that the price is actually going to be about $1800 US, which is reasonable - above that price point for a 6 meg, non-full frame digital is getting crazy. B.

Man Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 6:54 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] buying the epsonia R-D1 in Japan.... The last I heard is that the R-D1 will be available in "Japan Only, Summer" for $2000 to $3500 (!). One dealer does mention that it will be available in US but with no timeframe on when. Anycase, I will be in Japan during the 2nd half of July. If it is available in Japan during that time AND if it is not available in US "for a while," how many people would be interested in buying it from me if I were to "import" a few of them?
