OTOH, the $2000 E20 that I "stole" from Staples.com for $1300 less than a year
ago before they got wise* is now selling for under $1000. For $2000, it was a
fine camera. For $1000, it's an OUTSTANDING camera!
*Staples was offering "lowest price, or 1100f the difference back." You called
one of the slime-ball New York dealers and got a ridiculous camera-only price,
which of course they wouldn't honor without including hundreds of dollars of
useless, grossly over-priced accessories. You then paid list price at Staples,
and submitted the slime-ball quote, and they refunded you 1100f the difference!
They are now excluding certain categories of merchandise from their 1100rice
match, including digital cameras.
