let us weep together.
I was pondering a journey to california to buy some stuff.
but I can't really justify the cost for flight, rental car, lodging -or can I ?
I googled the fairs NEAF, ATT and others.
If anything, after the fairs' dates this year, the price for HEQ5 has risen in NZ by 300$ . go figure.
there's one in September.
will wait until October with any new purchase and watch the prices of the current models.
re your Canon: the Photokina used to cause a camera sale of "old" (that is "current") models. It's going to be hosted in September.
