I thought they also updated the screen technology? It's all conjecture at the moment of course but that would keep me purchasing.

Oh, hang on - it is!

Maybe the new model is also using VizPlex. We don't know just yet.

I for one very much like the new USB-as-mass-storage function. It removes the need for specialized tools like libprs500 and allows easier synchronizations for us in the non-windows world.

I'd expect a lot of second hand ones to be popping up on e-bay soon.

Have you looked at Tiger Direct or BH photo? I don't know if they still have 500's in stock at this point ....

I think Tiger Direct does, but the holiday's over now ... unless, of course, you had another reason to not want to go with B&H Photo.

The reason to not go with B&H is that they don't have the 505. Tiger Direct doesn't have the 505 either.

I've just received an eMail from B&H saying that they currently have no estimate of when they will stock the 505.
