Actually I am wrong on that, At first I was seeing batteries over 200.00 and the case around 125.00-150 separately, so I am not saving as much as I thought. I don't even see advertisements for buying the hard case separate anymore.
I did order a 3rd battery from Samy's camera for 157.20 with tax . The battery is back ordered. I did get an e mail that the Evo pro shipped but when I put the tracking # on the UPS site. It only shows that it's labeled for UPS and it is still in China. I am just waiting patiently now and until I see the UPS guy walking up with a big package. That is when I will get excited.
