Re: General comment

Well this is eye opening. $15k? Well actually thats depressing. Maybe I
should clarify that I could do without the imaging ability initially. It
just needs to be an upgrade possibility. I am now also will to fork over up
to $2500 and take something used. Here are some inexpensive zooms that I
found tonight but I am unsure as to quality and usefulness. Any comments?

Just to satisfy my curiosity, does anyone know what a Nikon SMZ 1000 lists
for?
