What??? It's a bizarre statement! It like it's priced exactly where it needs to be. For many people's purposes it's a better buy at the same price as the d100 and 10D. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com

Gotta remember that the SRP of the 10D is £1500 - STREET price is £1250. Once initial demand has passed (possibly even before), I can see the istD selling for £1200 or maybe even less...

From: Harold Owen Subject: UK pricing for *istD! It would appear that the Pentax *istD body only is going to cost £1,400 here in the UK. See this link:- http://www.ephotozine.com/news/fullnews.cfm?NewsID=1327 It will be interesting to see what the discounted price will be. Harry That is the same price as the Olympus E-1 which is now official, I wonder if it is fiction? Regards, Ziggy
