At a local shop, Kerrisdale Camera in Victoria, I was told that the *ist-D would be available "soon". This shop lists the 10D for $2499 and the D100 for $2699, bodies only. The *ist-D will be $2899, body and FAJ 18-35 lens. All prices in Canadian dollars. Their prices on the C and N cameras seem a little high, so the Pentax may be less at other retailers. Including the lens at that price seems like a good idea.
