Right on. The GF1 and friends are currently absurdly overpriced at $1K or so, I imagine the accountants over at Panasonic are having baby-oil parties in the bank vault after every months' sales report. Sucker was sold out in all the camera stores around here. They knock a couple hundred off the price, add in-body IS and a few more sexy lenses and that product line is going to go through the bottom three-quarters of the SLR market like a hot knife through butter. -T -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
