In all honesty, when I compare inflation to today, I would agree with others who say it has not changed much.
It would be interesting to do a study, since I have all the prices from when I got my first camera and lenses in 1981 and also with my PZ-1 in 1991, to comparable models today (relitive to top of the line models) and see where we are.
If I had to guess, I would say that only the *istD is out of line with reality. It was expensive. More expensive than either my K10D or K7D, all bought concurrent with release in Canada
