Yes, these prices are high, but I'm in the butt of the world (Argentina). Importing implies 50% of extra taxes when it arrives here. So I end paying the same. The local Pentax importer sucks, and they only get DL body, and no kit. I want kit in order to get wide ange coverage. My budget is tight, really tight, so I'm trying to convert this fallen from sky money (usd 1000) into a DSLR. I'll use it for paid jobs, so I want a versatile machine. The DL seems very cramped when compared to DS, in viewfinder, AF, etc... I don't know...
