An increase in value of the pound should mean a drop in the price of imports, but make exports more expensive. That's why currencies are devalued so as to reduce demand for imported items and make sales of exported items more attractive to overseas buyers.

Is that price correct? The grip and lenses alone are worth that alone..

I guess Pentax can't take advantage of the economies of scale unlike can ikon. This woulda me pentax susceptible to price fluctuations due to any supplier price differences...

I'm guessing the firmware on the k-7 will he very similar to the k-5 due to their physical similarities.

about the price! Making a small number of TC's
is expensive

Same with FF if they ever bring it out it won't be cheap!

And it has been promised since the days of the K10D ... so why will it not be compatible?

They will probably sell more of these in a year than the DA*300.

The gps in a mobile is fairly small so why the gps
Unit needs to be so big I don't know??

The k-3 is already the most expensive apsc body out there they had to keep the price down some how.

Maybe their research showed not everyone wants wifi so left it out to keep the price down.
They employed that ethos with GPS and it ended up that those of us who want it had to pay £250 per camera and lose the hotshoe.

I'm not into this modular approach. Adding GPS and Wifi into the camera without "extras" wouldn't cost that much and would give the camera a perceived good value even for those that didn't initially ( or ever ) want those features.

How may still shooters look at the video specs of a camera and get positive about them even though they probably won't really use them. But the option is there.
