Thats good to hear. I think Henry's is more of a Canon/Nikon pusher. I was dealing with the salesman i usually deal with and when i posed the question of availability etc, he looked at me with the "deer in head light" look.
He had no idea of the camera's avalability or sales. He had to look at the computyer for orders, although he said the K100 was a dcent seller, and he knew of that camera. Same guy, with ordering the D200, did not need to consult the 'puter.
