Pretty sure the price isn't going to go up- it fluctuates a little now and then, but the camera will never be sold for the full $849 again.

The white one is only 609.89 as well. That particular merchant seems to have really good ratings on Amazon, so I doubt you would have to worry there. I'm guessing there will be even more of a price drop. No idea if that will happen before or after Christmas, but it has certainly been on a steady fall. I'm keeping my eye on it, along with the K-5 II/IIs bodies as well.

I'm kind of hoping we see a blue 18-135WR kit by the time my income tax refunds demands to be spent.
