Price desparity? - PhotoCamel

Sidebyte · 05-06-2008

Two major retailers in Canada (Henry's is one) are listing the S5 at $999. Can. and B&H here has the identical kit for $1599. It is also being discounted heavily in Europe. Usually the US is lower in it's price structure but this is really ridiculous.

Could it be the weak dollar is making a difference in the price?

The Canadian dollar was at 65% of the dollar just 12-18 months ago. I think this would be the major reason in the price difference.

no all over the globe the price has fallen to what should be about $1000 us. it seem we are always the last to have the price drop.
