Amazon price is $1149 + free shipping, so $1049 after rebate. One of these days I may actually buy one.

Where can one actually buy a K7/18-55WR combo in the US?

I wonder when we will have similar promotion in Canada for the K-7. If it happens, I wonder how many would likley take a plunge north of the border - I am waiting to upgrade from my K10D.

Prodigital should accept a BIN price of ~$1150 USD, which with free shipping within Canada would amount to about the same price as importing from the US if not cheaper, along with getting a Canadian warranty.
