Don't forget the effects of the exchange rate being so bad. I mean, if the AUD was close to parity and they priced it at (say) $2299, they're still getting a big percent profit but I think we'd all find it much more palatable. *sigh* (I've been buying from overseas for 5-6 years now, and the exchange rate has a huge impact on my spending. When the same AUD will only get 70% of what it did a few years back, it hurts. And it isn't like what I'm buying even has a local purchase option. Gah!)
But I'll probably get the K1 anyway. I can't buy before mid-year anyway, so I have time to see where the street price settles. I can hope it ends up comparable to the d750 by then, can't I?

Allowing for gst and the seemingly inevitable small-market premium, I wouldn't have been surprised at about $2800. (heck, the nikon d810 is only $3598 at DCW... and the d750 is $2297). I wonder if Teds will keep to that price. :/
