If it had not had all the problems I read about then I'd have gotten 
one.  But the stories about poor rangefinder alignment, and things like 
that kept me away...also it was not exactly in the category I was taking 
about, if I remember it was around 3 grand new.  They are still 1500 
used or so...I'd rather save a few more pennies and get a used M8 with 
all I have hear about the RD1.  Now had the RD1 been a decent camera 
with good customer support...that'd have made a difference to me.
