I agree that the EOS line will stay at its present price point, US $2-3K. The
point I was making is that present-day EOS-1Ds technology will become available
in bodies costing US $1K in about five years, not that EOS bodies will cost
$1K. The EOS bodies of five years hence will cost the inflated equivalent of
$2-3K, and will be stuffed with the latest goodies, to justify the price.
