Hello, where are all the new V2 users?

The body-only is the way to go if you don't want the extra cost of the 10-30 kit zoom.

The V2 is available plentifully new as body only on e-bay... seems like "Big Value" sells most of them.

"Big Value" seems to have more than 10 of the V1'a body only, but it's a little steep.

The V1 was also available packaged that way new from Japan, but has been discontinued and sold out. For the V1, the way to go would be to look at the plenty of excellent ones available used, as body only... of course you have to be careful used, especially overseas.

I don't see any significant price drops until towards the end of the year, when they scramble to max out the sales numbers, but you never know these days.
