 ... and that is rather easily done:

go to www.bhphotovideo.com,
then select camera & photo gear > digital camera
then select 'all brands' and 'SLR interchangeable lens'

Looks like $US 1499.95 is about the maximum they would be able to
sell it for if it was on the market today.

Probably less in a few month...

By the time the new state of equilibrium is reached after it hit the
market, $US 999.99 is quite possible.

How could I? The *ist D isn't available yet, nor are it's final specs.

Why must it be 25% less? It must be 900 pounds so you can afford it, or so
Pentax can sell it?

So that it is competitive and Pentax can sell it in the UK. Just compare the
products if you can.

It was amusing reading the monthly Outdoor Photographer which said
Pentax UK wer talking of a price in excess of £2000 - and they thought
that was cheap!  How quickly things have moved on - makes the mag look a
bit stoopid.

I really would be surprised to see £900.

To be honest, the 10D is getting soo 'cheap' that I would settle for it
being no more expensive than that.  This may not be as cheap as the
general market would like it, but it would do for me!

Why must it be 25% less? It must be 900 pounds so you can afford it,
or so Pentax can sell it?

The latest price in the UK for the D10 is 1245 GBP so *istD must come in
around 900 GBP or hopefully less.

*istD price rumours...

2003-03-27 Thread Kristian Walsh
Hi,

Very quick note. Was in one of the local camera shops today (trying to 
get a go of a new Optio S, but it hadn't arrived yet). One thing I did 
hear was the expected price of the *istD. According to the Pentax rep, 
the price is going to be under EUR 1600 (based on a UK price of ... 
£999 ! )

For comparison, the EOS 10D costs just under EUR 2300 here, body-only.
