Pretty funny...A photo dealer in the Boston area had one of the Nikon S3
repros, and when I asked to see it, he brought out a pyramid of sealed
boxes - Camera, case, etc., all shrink-wrapped together. He said that he
couldn't open it, and was absolutely convinced it would eventually be
bought by someone who would place the shrink-wrapped mound in a safe,
never to be opened. Collectors....;-)

Hi folks
Just for fun I e-mailed the seller, and here's the exchange of letters.

Ha ha ha... Sorry. The camera is inside, still unopened, so we couldn't
picture it. But as a direct Olympus dealer, we got one of the first few
cameras available for sale. Please trust me that it is indeed inside the
box. :)
