Have to say it: >Also, why is everyone assuming that the 645D will be so much cheaper >than the current products on the market? Look at the K10D. :-) While I appreciate the low price, it's got to be hard to make money on a body that depreciates by 50% in one year. It makes me wonder if they are still in the production line. Some of the stores selling at $999 would probably have to lose money selling at $699. I saw an *ist D online yesterday for $1299! In fact at $699 - $100 rebate, I'd expect the K10D to outsell the K100's.
