The Dato is a precious one for sure

Still love the first gen the most but they are all spectacular. You can get some quality photo gear for little compared to a Dato so then its mostly how to use it to capture the picture you aim for.

I like the first generation Dato too

Especially the rose golf black Lumen somehow sings to me as well....
