So - whats your take on DP3 M ?

The SD-1 buffer is tiny.

The DP buffer is better, even though theoretically just one more shot.  That shot helps a LOT.  I almost never run into buffer limits shooting the DP cameras, but I have on the SD-1.

In practice it means two bracketed bursts and you still have the option of another shot before the buffer is filled, by that time enough writing maybe complete to get a few more.

I disagree, it's  great length.  Longer gets to be problematic in practice.

I'll wait and see about that myself.

An SD-1x is obviously more versatile, the DP-M series is not about versatility but about a fine photographic tool.  It remains to be seen just what kind of tool the DP-3M will become as it is.
