It's less intense with the R-D1 but still quite evident if you look for it. Andy Piper, actually, used to complain that his R-D1 had a reddish cast that he couldn't seem to get rid of. To this minute, I'm sure that there are thousands of R-D1 owners who don't realize that the camera is so sensitive to IR.
Why has it not been debated or caused a scandal? I think one reason is that it's weaker than that of the M8 but the other is that most R-D1 owners have been mostly focused on making pictures <G>. I think there's also another forum member who put up examples of this issue with the R-D1. I happen to love and own both of these DRFs.
