Subject: Re: [OM] Some info on the new E-1
I agree. While John H. mentioned that this is MSRP, the fact of the matter is
that the MSRP of the 10D is $1499 and that's what it sells for, thought a few
dealers sell it for $1450 if you can get one. Don't think the E-1 will be
discounted to anywhere near that price range...maybe in a year or so.
Also....$8,000 for a 300/2.8?!?!? I don't think so...you can get a Canon
300/2.8 with IS for $3500 new and less than that used. The prices for the other
lenses seems in line, except the 1.4X teleconvertor is about 2X too expensive.
