It is just that the SRP of £1,400 appeared to be a lot higher than many UK
photo magazines had been suggesting!
I am waiting to see what the online dealer who sold me the *ist SLR at a
great price is going to sell the *istD at.
The *ist SLR camera was being discounted as soon as it was available for
sale and I am hoping the same thing will happen with the *istD, although if
it is going to be in short supply this might not be likely.
In addition I am checking on a number of German online retailers to see what
their prices are going to be,

Guys,
The price war will be very interesting and Pentax may already be dead in the
water, look at the prices, body only;
*istD 1400 GBP recommended
Olympus E-1 1400 GBP recommended
Nikon D100 1399 GBP street
Canon D10 1299 GBP street
Canon EOS 300D 899 GBP expected ( 1000 GBP plus lens
advertised )
The street price has to be no more than 1100 GBP or else it will be a dead
duck.
Has anyone out their placed an order for one?
Regards,
Ziggy
