[Leica] Epson R-D1 price revealed (digest 408)

[bladman99 at yahoo.ca (Dan C)]

But the D100 is NOT $2500 now.   It's about $1900 CDN (< $1500 USD) as
advertised at Henry's, and probably a bit less if you shop around.

And the site where I dug up that price has a banner advertising a $200
price drop for the Canon 10D (now $1799.99 CAD).
