unlearny: We apologize, we were not able to offer this camera for a fair price while the inventor and our President were still alive. Now that they are gone, we want to lower the price before anybody else succumbs.
I'm imagining Yamaki just had an "A Christmas Carol" experience with apparitions of his old boss and Merril saying, "Ooooh, the 800E has no low pass filter and 36mp. lower the price or else you'll have to keep all the excess inventory sitting in the warehouse..."
How far ahead of the competition did they think they were, anyways?
Dick Merrill passed away in 2008, long before the SD1 sensor was developed.

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Yamaki a few years ago. He was a gracious and kind gentleman. My condolences to his family.
