[Leica] Stephen Gandy took down the Epson R-D1 info!

[leicachris at worldnet.att.net (Christopher Williams)]

Epson is getting into digital cameras this year. I think there were 3 P&S
models released for Japan. I'm surprised that they will market the RD-1
alone. Epson now has hard drives, TV's with printers, monitors, and now
RF's.
