Epson R-D1x

Latest version of the world's first (and until recently the only) digital rangefinder, originally launched in 2004 and amazingly still in production (albeit only for sale in Japan). The new R-D1x model maintains most of the features of the previous camera including a 6Mp APS-C sensor, but adds a larger 2.5" LCD screen, support for the higher-capacity SD-HC card format and a removable handgrip. Based around a Cosina rangefinder camera with Leica M mount, the RD-1 combines classic camera styling with digital capture - and it still costs a lot less than the Leica M8.
