If it's $1000, that's a STEAL!
Grab it before it's someone else's cam  Its retail price was $2750 when it came out over 1 year ago. And CP/MS Color all asked around the retail price. Cheers! |

can't imagine such a big difference between the istD & the istDs. Is there any major differences between them? to justify the $1000 difference?

Funny thing about those ads on US based magazines are selling the istD for around USD $1000. After the currency conversion that makes the istD around
or less than S$ 1900 !!! So it is certainly much much cheaper or should I say, much much more expensive over here in S'pore... Think about it guys...think about it... |

Not really, looks more like stock dumping due to lack of sales for the original D. |
