Guess Pentax "appreciates" Americans more.

Don't American have the most buying power? (Or at least, don't Americans spend the most money... whether or not they can actually AFFORD to?)

It will probably be a "resident of the USA" rebate...

Here in Canada what we really need following the price hike 2 month ago is a -40% rebate on everything.

Under old management, the K20D didnt have rebates if i remember correctly.

I got USD $100 rebate for K10D (purchased on Jan 08, 2008 - rebate received on Feb 19, 2008) and USD $100 rebate for K20D (purchased on July 23, 2008 - rebate received on Sep 08, 2008)

Cool. So one of you USAers can get the K-7, and then buy me a 55-300 with the rebate, then send it over here! We'll split the rebate. Thanks in advance, you're too kind.

I got this in an email from Pentax Canada about the K-7.

Every PENTAX K-7 purchased includes an Extended Warranty valid for three years and an exclusive in-the-box coupon just for K-7 buyers for up to 15 percent savings on a variety of PENTAX lenses, flashes and binoculars.

LOL, we used to have buying power! A few years ago when home prices were skyrocketing, many people I knew refinanced their homes, and bought lots of stuff with their new found wealth. That money's all been spent, and most of these same people are on a *much* tighter budget now (a few have actually lost their homes). I'm afraid it will be a LONG time before Americans spend like they used to.

3 year warranty is great too!

Hello, fellow Ottawatonian.

I also got such an email but as it comes from pentaximaging.com, I assumed it was a US-only offer. (A few months ago I got a similar email about the white K-m, which, as far as I can tell, has never really made it to Canada)

If you got that email specifically from a Pentax *Canada* source, we may be in for a nice surprise...
