Great news.

Any idea how soon it will be available in UK & how much will it cost ?

The UK street price should be about £399 so it's the same as previous GRD. It should hit the shops at 22th November. The question is if its the worldwide sale date or just Japan. But because it's a very close to Christmas, I think it will be available also here in Europe

Agreed...

i will feel "ashame" to abandon my current GRD to have an affair with GRDII now,
after she has helped and given me much joy in photography during the past years.
