I, for one, would vote for the other candidate, because he is the honest one who intends to keep his/her promises. Camera prices have gone up for two reasons. The weakening of the dollar, and increasing production costs. Pro cameras cost more because they are more expensive to make. It's that simple. If it wasn't someone would be making pro cameras for less and keeping the prices down. Check it out: F5, RTS III, R7, EOS1nRS. They're all close in price, but which is the least expensive? The R7. (Now that there's a special on them to make way for the R8). ================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier NPPA Region 11 JIB Chair
