I'd rather buy a Leica (analog) or one of the post -2000's Bessa's from Voightländer and a decent lens if I had such an amount of money to spend on a camera.
"In 2006, over 7.2 million people were on probation, in jail or prison, or on parole at yearend 2006 -- 3.2% of all U.S. adult residents or 1 in every 31 adults. State and federal prison authorities had jurisdiction over 1,595,034 inmates at midyear 2007: 1,395,916 in state jurisdiction and 199,118 in federal jurisdiction."
And: "In absolute terms, the United States currently has the largest inmate population in the world, with more than 2½ million[8] or more than one in a hundred adults[9] in prison and jails. Although the United States represents less than 5% of the world's population, over 25% of the people incarcerated around the world are housed in the American prison system. (...) In 2002, both Russia and China also had prison populations in excess of 1 million.[10] By October 2006, the Russian prison population declined to 869,814 which translated into 611 prisoners per 100,000 population. As a percentage of total population, the United States also has the largest imprisoned population, with 739 people per 100,000 serving time, awaiting trial or otherwise detained."
What..? Why is everyone so negative about a collar for a dog just so he can always be found? Nearly all dogs wear A collar, do you really think a dog cares/knows about it having a microchip or not? I know many many people who would like to have a chip in their dog's collar so it can be easily tracked down with GPS, when the dog gets lost or something. Oh wait, is it because it's Putin's dog?
Ah, the US, land of the free... In the US, 2,5 million people are in prison. That's more than in Russia AND China TOGETHER. Hm. Land of the free. In the land of the free you get sentenced into prison for 50 years because you stole nine videotapes with Disney movies. The 'land of the free' phrase should be banned. before it gets used by even more ignorant morons than it already is.

Considering that the US' economy has been going downhill - and that's an understatement - since 2007, they'd better start selling those 4GB models in the US, too.
