That depends how much of them they have in stock. I remember, when the Canon G2 was going out, the G1 did fall slightly in price (10% only), then they called all of them back (or whatever, they were not available) to not cut the sales of the new G2 (if you could get a sale-out G1 at 50% of G2 price, what would you do :) As these DSLR are pretty much low sale figures items, I except the D30 will fall slightly, than disappear quickly to not cut sales of D60... Much like the practice with cellular phones or computers. I would very much like to buy NIB phone of two years ago at 20% the price of it, or buy a 5 gig hardrive at 10% the price of current 50 gig drive, but none are available, precisely for the reason of cutting sales of newer items. Consumerism again :) Good light, Frantisek Vlcek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
