Originally posted by monochrome The main fault with this poll on this Forum is it excludes those who don't use English as a first or (much smaller sample) second language.
English is my fourth language, but I still think the poll is correct.
Due to aggressive US marketing campaigns, almost all vendors internationally launch new products in the US with an initial MSRP given. Therefore, people worldwide have opinions what that price should read like.
And although vendors try to discourage gray market imports, they happen and help the prices level worldwide. BTW, lens prices which aren't launched aggressively are typically lower in Europe than they are in the US, at least after a couple of months. After all, the vendors need to earn their money ...
As for the price ...
... the Pentax target group would not afford more than 2000$ US. I am almost sure the Pentax FF will launch at $1999,-.
After all, it was the reason Pentax gave why not launching FF earlier. Pentax *istD plus inflation sets the limit. The feature set will be according, which is why I won't expect 36MP+ in this first run.
