"Above average!"

I think I know a few photographers here who will not like it.
On the other hand, GRD1+2+3, are not even reviewed.

in a sense, the review justified. the reviewer says it's not a camera for everybody and you have to get used to it and use it as it needs to be. (personally i think it's a view camera in a compact's clothing). everybody does agree the files gorgeous - and if you like post-processing (which i do), that's the main consideration. i just don't want pictures that look like everybody else's.

Not so much view camera, no scheimpflug adjustments!
I think of the DP series as the Digital equivalent to the Medium Format Folder, like a Bessa or Super Ikonta; very easy to take with but compromised a bit to make them so portable. But if you're willing to take the time and work with them, capable of astounding image quality!
