>>3618454I had to wait a while. Before December about 3-4 sold in the UK/EU area in great condition for 80/90 euro. Then, when I finally got paid for some old work, they were suddenly none on the market at non retard prices. I almost purchased one off someone on eBay Kleinanzeigen for 150 who wouldn't budge, but I remained patient. At the beginning of Jan I got one for 50 euro, with ostensibly just a crappy LCD screen and shot my birthday with it, only to find out that the focus was fucked 99% of the time. I returned it, and jumped on a fully functioning one for 100 euro I saw a few weeks later. I would say the R1 is one of very few upper-mid level compacts which you can get affordably. I'd love to try a DL Super Mini (non zoom) some day, but the R1 basically does everything it does and much more (minus a little sharpness.)
