My DP1 died from similar disease at the end of 2012 during our trip to Isle of Madeira. I was fortunate and bought brand new DP1x for 330 dollars and it works fine until today (knock knock in unpainted wood). Do not bother to repair it. It is simply not worth. Unless you or somebody else is kind of hobbyist and can give a try.

I've just checked ebay. There are a couple of used DP1's so you may try to bid. Do not bother (I mean I wouldn't bother) to deal with those Japanese guys offering brand new stuff for sick prices.

Good luck and go for it. Pictures (especially landscape) taken with this little beast is unbeatable.

As to that, I had a quick shoot-out today with the newly acquired micro-4/3rds vs. the DP2s. DP2s won hands-down on image quality and, of course, lost badly on handling, etc.

Not saying anything new, of course . . .
