So far the lowest price i have from a reputable place is 1199.00. I think it should come down some in about 10 days

I saw it at www.bwayphoto.com for $1,099, altho I don't know what the shipping is.

Can someone tell me in laymans terms what the major diff is between D7i & the D7Hi?

faster and higher resolution JPG (extra fine mode). and assignable colorspace (which i would use) on a per image basis.

oh yeah the bway photo price is $1099+$55 ground UPS shipping that was to NJ just across the river. if i were to go to NYC which would cost me $10 the instore price willl be higher that is the internet price. they get you coming and going. these are the type you have to look out for. there is no free lunch

it was a good effort on your part though. pretty much the same price i got just a little less truthful on the division of cost.
