That's £1567 for the body... wonder how it is that we on this island have to pay the equivalent of £332 more? And of course, not being in the EU anymore means no easy cross-border orders.

That sucks.

Big time.

First I've seen available! I'll add more when I see more!

TheCameraStore:
$2500 CAD - Pentax K-3 Mark III Body
$2900 CAD - Pentax K-3 Mark III Premium Kit

Update: Both links are now broken...

I ordered mine from Photocreative.com in Mississauga, Ontario. It is not listed on their website but if you call, they will order it for you. Not sure about International orders though.

That's what I did with Camera Canada.

I'm wondering if I'm going to pre-order one or waiting on real reviews. Rene told me the AF is impressive compared to the previous version, I've no doubt but is it worth to buy it now?

Got my order in to McBain Camera for the premium kit in black!

That's cheaper than elsewhere, cheaper too then Ricoh eu - where I ordered mine. As I'm travelling, it was easier to use Ricoh itself - and I placed the order Thursday last week (no, not a 1 April joke)

Henry's:
Pentax K-3 Mark III Body

Henry's doesn't keep any Pentax equipment in stock, except for a couple of consumer grade lenses and used gear -- no bodies at all. They have very little of the models that Ricoh Canada already has in stock, i.e., they have no stock of K-3 III, K-P, or K-1 II. The other three stores are the same, except they don't even give you the option of special ordering K-3 II or K-P. Almost all Pentax gear is by special order only, so expect delays even if you order something that Ricoh Canada already has in stock. Amazon Canada is no better. However, Camera Canada does show stock of the K-1 II.

Almost all camera stores in this area don't keep inventory of all Pentax gear and are special order only.
