I hope they honor the price, but wouldn't be surprised if they didn't, it's listed at $1,699 now and I can't see them taking a ~20% hit on it...I just keep waiting for the "Order Canceled" email...

Nobody uses that term anymore.... they died out circa 1989 - 1990 at a push... really it was an early to mid eighties phenomenon and expression. Er, “alot less yuppies around anymore” ?

I don’t recall that “because of the serious changes in currency exchange rates” USD against Euro, urge them to lower the prices in Europe which are currently 30% higher then USA. Cute.

Maybe the D90 will drop below 800 Euros soon. :-) I don't understand the price increase, though. I had been waiting for the prices of some Nikon lenses to drop -- most notably the AF DC Nikkor 135mm -- and I think in light of the current economic situation it just doesn't make sense to increase prices.

I think that it will work out to be at least a $200.00 to $300.00 dollar savings. If I ever decide to sell it, the price increase will provide a better resale price for me. At least I hope.

Being seen with nikon gear on german streets is dangerous. At least tape the nikon logo and stick some leica (or leitz) to it.
