swamiji Posted September 8, 2009 Share #61 Posted September 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just an odd comment... before we get too far being upset about $7k. Is not the Nikon D3x about the same or higher? And it's 14bit... ISO up to 1600 (non-boost) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooky Posted September 8, 2009 Share #64 Posted September 8, 2009 Enlightenment takes many forms, and usually starts with knowing your limits... ah yes swamiji, but enlightenment is infinite - limitless....... But I hope to swing an M9 even if it's past my money limits!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrc Posted September 8, 2009 Share #69 Posted September 8, 2009 Might be some interesting arbitrage possibilities if the US version comes in at $7,000 and the UK version (with VAT) at £5000. I could order an M9 from B&H and have it sent to my non-New York home (no sales tax), carry it to the UK, drop it off with a pre-arranged British buyer, spend a week in London with an extra $100 a night to spend on a hotel, and give the buyer a $600 discount... Not that I would ever do that, because it would be morally wrong. JC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
