The pricing, are we talking about the lens, body or what?
The 70-300 seems reasonable e.g. the Canon 70-300L list price is 1.6x that, so in longer term the street price should be tolerable. I remember the Oly 75-300mm f/6.7 price caused shock when it originally came out, but does seem to have dropped to more tolerable levels now also.
Body wise I'm less concerned, can pick up an older model for next to nothing. I almost considered a V1 as a play thing when they were practically giving them away after the V2 launched.
