Well, sometimes it is simply a matter of the specs not being fully finalized. You guys can not imagine the flack a manufacture can get if the final specs do not match the announced specs. OTH, the type of thing we seem to have here is just a way of building hype.
I am not in the market, the only reason I was able to spend $200 on the Oly was because I got my deposit back from the electric company, and a nice overpayment check from the budget plan too. That was year before this, this year a merely got $15, and suspect I will owe them money next year.
