- Actually I don't think they have made it to the stores yet. I went down
- to Camera World of Oregon, and they didn't have any yet (but are supposed
- to get them "real soon now"). This is for the A2, not the A2E. The A2E
- isn't due out for a few months yet (spring?). Anyway, I reserved an A2
- at Camera World, so I can get one as soon as they come in.
