All, I popped into my local Ritz camera (a big US retail chain) to get a roll of film processed (remember film?). After I got the pics back, I sauntered over to the camera section to see what they had for sale. Their digital camera section was well-laid-out and obviously had a lot of traffic.
Surprisingly, they didn't have the DSLRs in with the other digitals. Each was buried in its respective brand-name SLR display with the film cameras. I was even more surprised at the pricing: $1499 for the Nikon D100 and the Canon EOS 10D, and only $1399 for the Pentax *istD. I'm not sure what it means, but it was interesting.... --Mark
