So, because one component (probably the most expensive) costs 10x more (plus associated costs) the whole unit is twice the price. Seems like a bargain to me. Pentax can knock the DL/2 out (with two lenses) for £500. Give me that with FF and you can throw the mechanical actuator in as well. I'll pay £1500. The LX, body only, got to more than that in the UK. > > On Thu, 07 Sep 2006 01:46:41 +0100, K.Takeshita <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > Much info is available on the sensor cost, and this is one of them.
