Actually, they said different things. One said a delay to Jan 1 or later, the other said a shorter delay, both with general reasons of development issues which are distinctly at odds with the information coming out of Japan. These are classic examples of Camera Store BS. I don't believe anything camera sales staff tell me unless I can confirm it with an independant source, I've been lied to far too many times. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
