I knew I was going to get this by the end of the year. Just couldn't resist. Excellent camera, the reviews were dead on, well worth it's price if not more. Just got the body only, was not interested in either kit lenses, rather save up for the 85mm f1.2 or the 50mm f1.2.

sony_sandisk_vault_micro_sd_flash_drive_2gb_4852
I think that's small enough. Amazing how technology is going. Unthinkable a couple of years ago. As for price the sony micro vault (top) 2gb only cost me $19.99 where as a couple of years ago was $69.99.
The micro SD (middle) which I use for my LGenV phone cost only $27.99 on amazon.
I say keep lowering prices, increase storage but easy on the size.

Pelosi slammed for 'hypocrisy'
Already in her first hundred hours?
Why wasn't this in the main stream media hmmm.
A special exemption in the nation's proposed new minimum wage law could benefit a company headquartered in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's district, and several Republican members of the U.S. House are objecting.
But while the proposed change in law adds American territories to the minimum wage requirements for the first time, American Samoa remains exempt. That's where Del Monte's brand name StarKist tuna has a huge plant, employing thousands of workers who would have been affected by inclusion in the minimum wage plan.
