me- Are you sure I have read they are available already.
him - maybe they meant the K100, we have those.
me okay thanks anyway.
Next day I emailed them asked again. Got a response from the manager. Guess what have one in stock today and you can come and look at it if you want.
I just laughed. Have not gone tolook yet but trying to this week. I have a fealing it will not sell since anyone asking may get a different answer each day.
Sounds a lot like the stores I tried visiting. Ritzcamera apparently hires people who know nothing about cameras and I didn't even try anyplace else. There is *ONE* camera store in the University town that had the K100D and reluctantly let me play with it but the salesperson wasn't that nice (kind of creepy). I may go there again when the alleged guy who's a photo professor at the college is on shift. We'll see. But I forsee myself buying it online just because I don't feel that camera shop is worth my patronage.
