The camera thread im not talking about

[gus]

This is a true story ..only the names have been changed to keep andy off gus's back for being a procrastinator.

Bob just went for a walk into town to have a feel of the 20D...guess what ? There is only one body in a town of 1.6 million people.

Bob asked how long it will be before more arrive & bob was told by 2 of the larger camera shops that it may be anytime up to 2 months before more arrive.

Bob said it must surely be a popular camera then...they agreed....

Bob also noticed D70's all over the place ready to roll.

G'day Nee7x7 :clap :clap

I was gunna ask, did BOB decide what he wanted? Is BOB going for the popular but slightly less available quality camera in the 20D, or the available and very powerful for the money quality camera in the D70, or is BOB still debating?

Hey Gus, why don't you ask Bob to ring up the camera dealer and see if he will act like a gun trader and accept shipment of a camera purchased in the US, then shipped to him to be resold to Bob?
