EX1 vs. EX1R?

[Paul Stevens]

I know that the EX1R is the updated version of the flagship EX1 camera. I'm leaning towards picking up the original version because they're being sold for much less than the newer model around here. Is that a bad decision though? The EX1R is priced a few hundred more than the original. Is it worth it?

I have the original model and it's a solid camera. I can't say that I've tried the updated version, but as long as you don't mind playing around with manual settings, the EX1 version gets the job done.

Even though both those cameras have been out for a while, they sure have held onto their value. I usually go for the newest model that I can afford, but both cameras seem to be popular.

I went ahead and picked up the second model. Unfortunately, I waited to long to make a decision and the EX1 was already sold out. I still got a good deal on a great camera though.
