It might be in stock over here but have you noticed the price we have to pay? 229 quid??? With todays exchange rate it gets to $355 compared to $199 preorder price in the US...A slight rip off?

Total rip. We've been eating it the past few years with the Euro being stronger than the buck, given the EU economic issues that didn't make much sense, but this is worse with unequal base price.

Then why you don't buy it from the US?
Shipping will cost you less than $50.

Of course there is this option, most probably it would come out slightly cheaper even with customs and postage paid. But what i was trying to point out, and it was mentioned already, is that it is really bad when the base price in pounds is higher then in dollars (229 to 199) without even touching pound to dollar rate. If thats where Canon is heading with their future pricing than its a bit worrying...But hey, lets just hope its a one off ;)
