I don't see "taxes" as a valid reason--unless there are some shady deals, Canon would have to pay the same taxes, unless for some reason there's an anti-Pentax tax (er, perhaps a PenTax?) in force. When I lived in Britain, I found that, for most things, prices were higher in dollar terms, but I accounted for almost all of this through the currency conversion. A CD, for instance, which cost twelve USD would cost twelve UKP: the difference was just the currency symbol in front. Greed, I might see, but surely someone's advised these guys about the whole "market share" idea, right? -Luigi
