Minolta Digital Maxxum 7D??

Anyone have any pricing information on the new Konica Digital Maxxum coming
out. I've seen the info on their website. It has plenty of technical info
but no pricing. Any info on that?

"Slightly under EOS 20D for body only" is, at this point, a safe
assumption. Judging from Minolta official info, actually. Personally I
wouldn't have been surprised if it was more, sucking in the early adopters
and Minolta system owners, but seeing that "early adopting" is somewhat of
an oxymoron when it comes to this specific camera Minolta has decided to
play it safe and compete for the whole market.

In the UK it is supposed to list at about 2.5x what a Dynax/Maxxum 7 body
actually retails for (as opposed to list).
Going by the usual "we pay in £ what you pay in $" that would put it ~$1150
body only.
Needless to say one expects to see it discounted from list.

By a more round about method I arrive at a similar, slightly higher US$ price
for the US... of course of K-M would actually get the damned thing to market...
