What is ignorant, is your making such a comment.  You don't know my business
background at all, now do you?  I have started and/or ran a number of
businesses over the years, a number of which have been quite successful, and
I completely understand how to run a business.  Have you?  I also understand
that some companies, in this case, camera companies, gouge here in the US.
It's not like that's a real secret!

What is no secret to just about anyone who's interested in Europe is that
camera equipment costs about 30% less in the US than it does over here.

On average, if you change the dollar sign into a pound sterling sign, you've
got the European price. And it often costs more than that.
