Sorry to hear that. Get a DP1M or DP1Q or DP0Q and you will not have that problem since the lenses are fixed.

Thanks for you empathy. I am considering getting the dp1m, but two things prevent me from getting it soon:

1. File size is soo large... I like the handling of the (relatively) small files of the pre merril age.

2. Battery life. With the dp2x and dp1s in the bag, I always carried four batteries, good for about one weekend out. I am afraid I have to double that in case of the dp1m..

Daniel,

Battery life is better with the DP Qs and image quality is great with both the DP Ms and Qs both of which can be used at low res. if you want to keep the files similar to your dead DP 1. The Jpegs from the DP Q are also very good can also do RAW conversion in the camera. Good luck with whatever you choose.
