High cost of 70-200 f/2.8 VRII !!!

Nov 8, 2009

does anyone else think that the cost of the new 70-200 at $2395 is really outrageously high? Heck, one can get a D700 camera for that price!! Of course I guess it is worth what folks are willing to pay but when compared with the cost of the cameras available that prices seems VERY high to me. Just wondered what others think!!
