<font color=blue>...so I can check and see if you still want me to stop by. Placerville nowadays is a small town by California standards...</font color=blue>

Hi Todd...

Yes, I'd appreciate it... I really do want this camera... /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

In fact, your small town may be the "advantage"... that camera is still sitting there on the shelf waiting to be shipped to me in New York... /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

If they don't have it... ask the sales clerk if he can locate one from the warehouse or one of the other stores... tell him you have someone on a mission and wants this camera bad... /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

I'll keep my fingers crossed... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

John,

Something tells me that you REALLY want this camera.... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Can't put my finger on it.... just something in your post here that suggests that you REALLY want this camera. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I hope you can locate it. Sounds like this Fry outfit is a bit flakey... /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

John,
I saw the reference to the "Value Package". I have bought several items packaged like that, the latest was a Handspring PDA. Saved $40 because it was in a plain white box. Same warranty, software, case, cables, etc. They don't sell real well in a showy retail store, so they sell them like that to the outfits that do Internet sales.
But...........I have had no dealings with Apple Camera so I have no idea whether you'd be getting a US model or an import with the features missing like you mentioned.
Sure hope someone can find this thing for you......./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Hi Jerry,

Well... yes... and no... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I have a unit on hold... but Frys don't accept credit cards over the phone... /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

I am waiting for the General Manager to call me back for an "exception" to the rule or come up with a work-around solution... /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

I had left a voice mail message for Randy Fry at corporate headquarters... but I'm not holding my breath for a return call... /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

I am grateful to Mr. BillG for the lead.../w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Now, I sit and wait... /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Yes John,

Any luck? The users at <A target="_blank" HREF=http://electronics.cnet.com/electronics/0-6613935-1318-3255119.html?tag=st.ce.6613935-1304-3255119.box.6613935-1318-3255119>cnet</A> are certainly sold on this camera. I hope you get it. Has me considering retiring the Canon A5Z and trying to get one for myself. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Hi Bill...

Thought I would have an answer tonight... but a big buyer was in town and the GM was being a gracious host most of the day and out of the building...

Hopefully, I'll know something either way tomorrow and I'll email you from work...

Two main things... the camera is a solid winner for exactly what I want to do... and the price is rock-bottom ridiculous... since the original price was $1500. over a year ago...

Like Yogi said... It ain't over til it's over... and besides you may be my "ace-in-the-hole"... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I'll email you tomorrow around noon time...

Thank you again Bill...

John,

What should I do with your camera?

JMIII - Just out of curiousity, why is this camera "the bee's knees", to you? I've got an Olympus UZ-2100. Just wondering if I need an E-100RS...

(Besides, I answered your question on why I hate skid steers. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif)
