The price of an entry-level car? 4000lbs of steel, plastic, aluminum,
electronics, base metals, rubber, etc., the same as a 1.5lb piece of
electronics?. 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...

If the prices are outrageous as you suggest it is open for you to make
a killing selling something much cheaper which does the same job.

Pure Adam Smith.

I doubt you remember when a meg of RAM cost over $600.

Your posts are also ludicrous!

It's going to happen. Either an 80 meg FF sensor will be released, or
someone like Pentax will release another medium format at 1/2 the
price. Price vacuums will always be filled.

Oh boy. What does Professional confer? The ability to charge 2-3x
what the camera should cost? It's like the $35,000 titanium M9.

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.
