Exman - I did the math and my point still stands. $565 from a reputable dealer is still very competitive for that model. Whether its "affordable" or not depends as much on your finances as the price. Just because YOU can't afford the camera after the price correction doesn't make it unfair. BTW, getting the camera cheaper via a price mistake is not considered a "hot deal". Gee, even a "newbie" such as myself knows that. As for the poor customer service, well, that is a different matter entirely!
