Anyone tempted by this B&H offer?

I know the X1D has some issues but it looks a gorgeous camera.

The only real remaining issue is that the camera takes an eternity to start-up. Pretty much everything else has been addressed. It's a fun camera and the best camera on the planet if you do a weight/IQ ratio

It will probably get cheaper since Sony is about to introduce a 100 megapixel version of the 44x33 sensor...

BTW, for a really comprehensive thread on the X1D from inception to today, settle down for some in depth reading here:

I've been reading that from time to time as some of the early users of the X1D post there.

I'm over it for the moment but that may all change if I should win the lottery.
