Same. NX1 hasn't even shipped, I think, so let's not expect rebates on it's $1500 price-tag anytime soon. Even the two year-old GH3 is still selling for $900. Only the Olympus E-M5 has come down to ~$600 body-only and it's a much older model than the K-3.
That being said, this morning I'm having a few second thoughts about my $620 body-only, semi-impulse purchase of last night. It's still, for me, a lot of money, and perhaps more camera than I need/want. I'd resolved to stick with the K-01 for 6 more months, but the deal just seemed irresistible...
@Doundounba; good for you... I did the same last night, for comparison purpose, the latest Lumix bridge camera from the same seller costs more than the k-3 (top APS-C); similar top line APS-C models from other vendors are still around 1K or more, go figure...
