Same sensor in the Pentax *ist D, DS, DL, and DS2, too. Good

I've seen quite a bit of good work with the R-D1. It's a bit
pricey for me, particularly as I no longer have any Leica M lenses.
The pricing just makes no sense, since any of those cameras or the
ones from Nikon, Minolta and Canon with equivalent sensor size, are
all about half the price (or less). I understand that after an
initial rush of buyers sales just completely died. I keep hoping
to hear of an Epson closeout for under $ 1,000. Then the camera
would make sense.
I agree. I think the first rush of sales were to all those folks who
had $20,000 worth of Leica M lenses and were desperate for a digital
body to use them on.
