MSRP in Japan of *ist will be 65,000 yen. By comparison, MZ-L (ZX-L) was priced at 67,000 yen; and MZ-5n at 75,000 yen when they first came out. All these features, and below the initial price of MZ-L... I'm impressed! Pentax did not have very high expectation for the *ist though, the initial production was set at 10,000 units per month; same as MZ-L. By comparison, initial production for Optio S was 60,000, and Optio 550 was 20,000. -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4--
