Sometimes I wonder if anyone here ever took an accounting course. Let's take a
look at the D-Rebel from that viewpoint.
It costs a certain amount to develop a digital camera (or any new product). Then
you have to figure out at what point you want to recoup that cost. Say you
budget it at a
I kind of doubt that Phillips chip ever reached the production level where they
sold for the $1000 price.
