IIRC, the European and North American plates are separating at about 1 inch/year, and the Rocky Mountains are still growing due to subduction of the Pacific plate beneath the Western North American plate.

*IstD price in Italy
Hi everybody, I just checked the Italian importer website. The list price of the *IstD is Euro 2299 (roughly US$ 2700). Needless to say I'm not exactly happy about that... Ciao, Gianfranco = __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search http://shopping.yahoo.com
Re: *IstD price in Italy
How much duty is charged on cameras imported to Italy? You can buy the *istD here in Vancovuer for CDN$2199 (about USD$1640) without even bargaining very hard. You could have it shipped with insurance; unless duty is exceedingly high, you'd save a bundle. I will put you in touch with the dealer from whom I'm buying mine if you wish.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the offer. I guess I'll do something of that kinb as soon as I'm able to purchase it (I already am, financially speaking at least, but I'm waiting to hold one in my hands). I'm a bit afraid that the customs duties are quite high by now (they recently started to add duties even on used products every now and then - I almost quit looking on eBay items in North America for that). The usual duties are the VAT (20%) and the import toll (dunno the exact amount, around 24%, maybe more). I should still save something that way, though. Ciao, Gianfranco = __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: *IstD price in Italy
Italian import taxes are as follows (regardless new or used items): 20% VAT 4% customs duties a few euros for extra costs I don't know remember. So the due total is around 25% of item+shipping (yes, those taxes are calculated on shipping costs too). And don't forget the shipping cost itself, to be added to the item price.

You will enjoy it. Did you guys know that they claim the Appalachians are the oldest mountains in the world. They say they averaged 25,000 feet when they were young and now are worn down to mostly less than 6,000. Not very good fall photography here this year as the leaves are green one day, turn the next, and gone the day after. You drive through the mountains and see about an equal mix of green, bright, and bare trees. Must be all the rain. But the rain is supposed to be pretty normal as this area has the second highest rainfall in the US. There has been a drought the last few years though.
