If I remember correctly, I paid about $2000 (taxes included) for an
*ist-D, battery grip, 256MB CF card & a used Tameron 28-200 lens. I had
to drive down to a local dealer's branch store in Wilmington, NC to pick
it up because they didn't have the grip in the Raleigh store. I didn't
think to take a lens along, so I bought the Tamron lens so I'd have
something to shoot with on the drive back to Raleigh.
I think the Tamron lens was about $300 & the 256MB CF card was about
$100 at that time, so the *ist-D & battery grip must have been about $1600.
That was February 14, 2004, just before I shipped out for Iraq. We got
the weekend off right after our big departure ceremony. I photographed
the ceremony with a PZ-1P.

When I bought my *istDS in late 2006 I got body only for only $360 new

Seems like early adopters really got soaked thru Pentax.

When I bought my istD 10 short years ago, I recall dropping somewhat
over $3200.00 for the camera, battery grip, lens and some AA batteries
that never worked right.
I just checked the price on the FUji X-T1 and some nice lenses.
The body, 14mm, 23mm, and 60mm macro comes in at less than I paid for
my istD kit.
