Pure insanity. Those things aren't radiation-hardened and going into space, so is it solely the R&D and the sensor being paid for here? It certainly isn't the $10-$20 worth of electronics or the LCD screen... Luminous Landscape Pricing, Availability and Other News Phase 80MP back. The IQ180 back will start to ship in late April, 2011. The IQ160 and IQ140 will become available over the following couple of months. The IQ180 will be priced at US $43,990. So if you see a price vacuum, fill it. That's the capitalist system. To constantly carp how some mysterious corporation is overcharging, is pure communist propaganda. Honestly? I think cameras like it and a lot of other things today ARE communist, because they want to force people into the renter's market and not the owner's market. Look at Microsoft trying to force everyone to cloud computing, no more ownership of software. Look at movies, moving away from owned copies like DVD and Blu-Ray to streamed movies from services. All control in the hands of others. It is ALL a form of communism. There is no owning of software. You purchase a license to use it, you never own it. |
