Actually I meant to say the US price (plus shipping, duty and VAT) was 10% LESS than the expected UK price. I was told that the expected price was between £700 and £750. I'm using rough figures, but 10% isn't far out.
Given that the release date appears to be roughly the same in both countries, and bearing in mind that the initial production run of a new camera is more likely to throw up faults, and that EU consumer law is better than US, I felt that the approx 10% difference was a price worth paying. For those interested, I placed the order with Park Cameras.
