Gorgeous shot: colours, tonality, tight composition. And +10 for the use of "fen," where was it taken? 

Those cameras still deliver, incredible that they weren't heralded as the bees knees when they were first released!

To be honest, I don't yet know any precise name of this swamp area, which is in the proces of restoration by the beavers for some years now.   The online dictionary proposed "fen" among other words like "moor", "everglades", "marsh", etc. ... Fenn with double "n" is a german word as well, and some of the wetlands and swamps in the neighbourhood are indeed named "...-Fenn", so I thought this might be appropiate, and if it was not, You guys would tell me that. The area is located about 50...55km northeast of Berlin, Germany.

Very nice shots. I love my DP1x and my Dp2s. So compact and handy. I wish they'd put out a similar model with the new sensor. I'd buy one in a second.

You mean a Quattro in the form factor of these older DP's?

Sorry for the long delay in responding. I just saw this. Yes. The compact size, retractable lens, and light weight are great.

You would get at most ten shots from the small battery. This is OK if your other camera is a 10x8 field camera, but would not help sales generally.

Quite so!

Not to mention the heat dissipation from a Quattro main board through that so conveniently small DP body. In a previous life, I used to calculate the internal temperature rise for such conditions . .
