Nothing worse than a perfectly good product ruined by cheap build quality. I would rather pay MORE and get a nice metal finish. There are plenty of plastic toy cameras out there if that's your thing. Even Apple, who arguably produces some of the finest plastic products on the planet, knows where to draw the line, and dumped their scratch-happy plastic iPods for nice metal ones.
Of course if it has a 1080p movie mode than I'll definitely pay a premium for the camera. I'm thinking the competition for the DP1 is a pentax with a pancake lense. I've this on sale on ebay for $600. What do you think the competition is? How much does the competition cost?
No price is mentioned simply because the release of the camera is far away (half a year ? ... more ?). They could not deliver the camera now, for PMA. Instead, the next best thing was to release a cool website about the new camera. People will buy it (sorry for the pun).
