The Fry's ad in the Sunday Mercury News includes the *ist-DS ($997, including the 18-55 lens). (For those of you not familiar with Fry's, it's a chain that caters mainly to the geek community. It carries a broad line of merchandise, from computer hardware and software to TVs, household electronics, and junk food. The sales staff have a (well-deserved) reputation for rudeness, and for questionable ethical standards when pushing merchandise. But sometimes their prices are hard to match. I was in there on Saturday to pick up an external USB/Firewire enclosure so that I can get my old image disk back online - I haven't been able to access them since the old computer died more than a year ago (I don't want to mount the disk in the newer computer, because I have reservations about the airflow in the case with two disks). While I was there I also picked up a copy of PhotoShop elements 3. The prices were $60 and $50 respectively (after a $20 rebate).
