Well, for once I wish I had been wrong... here's a quote from an entry I made a few months back on the S2 vs D3 etc thread....
"......don't know if you need a new thread, but a lot of speculation, on what price SHOULD be. Based on Back prices,and remembering that you are getting camera and 'back', $20,000 rather than $15,000 seems like a more reasonable 'floor'.
I don't think anyone would argue with a new Leica camera being $5,000. A 40MP bacK, $20,000 for SOTA would not be unreasonale, so my bet is
$22,500.

PS We'll see. There are still so many $10,000,000 houses around (and selling) so $50,000 is a drop in the bucket
...but I doubt any are pros (except the next Warhol)
