I believe the next 5 years will be the best we've had in 10 years.

Just looking for the dollar amounts. Got em now, thanks. Ricoh increases MSRP with every new generation, so maybe this one is justified with the new standard security features. In the end, the new model's 8-10% higher prices will be more like 2-3 on the street level.
