WOW! - Where was that!!! : and who with? Outback Air or Boomerang Airlines?

I will buy a couple of tickets and go and visit with my mate Lance for a few weeks!

Still won't buy a K-7 yet, even at Aussie pricing, as the total outlay for my K20D, DA*60-250 and DA 17-70 was under £1500!

Looks like I'll be stuck in a rut with that lot for a long time as I'm too much of a fringe photographer (mean b@st@rd!) to be an early adopter!
Richard it was with Kikatinalong airlines and if you make it here, your buying the beer

It has to be grey market stock, how can it be Vat included and not be covered :

I was going to say, thats a good price, until I got to the bottom and read its not covered under UK warranty.

I will try and get some high ISO shots later, busy busy busy

Who said there was a world wide recession, I'm flat out like a Lizard drinking at work.

There is no Remote Assistant software disc with the K-7 package, unlike the K20. I wonder why they dropped it for the K-7 :

I'm sure Chris will be happy to post one to you in Sweden, he posted a lens cap to me in Australia and Sweden is just around the corner

I would hang on to the K20 for a while yet and see what happens to the price on the K-7, theres no way I would touch it at that price.

The K20 is still fetching pretty good prices over here, around £500 with kit lens, which will go a long way to recouping some of the £750 I outlayed for the K-7, it won't even cover half your costs

Back in the 60s we had the 10pound poms flying out here, now its only a pound at least something over there is coming down in price

Clarky, I've spoken with Chris and he is fully aware of the contentious price issue for the body. Probably the best way of putting it is that it is out of his hands
I am aware its out of Chris's hands, Im just venting
