GRD IV price

Ciao all,

1) Popflash sells in pre-order the GRD IV at 599 US Dollar.
Will the price increase once the camera will be launched in the market?

2) Since I would also get the VF 01 (not the smaller 02) I'm looking for a nice case for my probably future GRD IV.
I realised that the original case can cover the camera equipped only with the 02, thus perhaps there are other options.
I saw some wonderful examples from Japan and other asian stores/sites, but I would know how I could I buy them?
Is it possible on legal aspect?
Do I need to pay a lot of taxes? Is it reliable to buy from those stores (I mean does the material arrive in full here in Italy)?
If some of you did, please forward me the reliable shop/link!
Thanks in advance for your precious support!

Strange nobody (107 views!) answered, hope my questions were not too stupid...
Apologize if this is the case!

Anyway, I'm trying to buy a GRD IV "kit" (accessories included) from Popflash since I have a colleague in the States.
They are kind, but are making problems because my VISA does not combine with the shipping address.
I'm evaluating to buy it in Europe. Can somebody suggest me a web shop where I can buy in a proper way (I mean reliable and "normal" prices) in Italy or Europe?

Thanks again,
Valerio
 
Hi Valerio,

Since you are from the EU, buying things outside the EU will cost you more because of VAT added by customs. I don't know what's the VAT in Italy, but here in Slovakia they would add 20% from the purchase price, including shipping! Another catch could be 1 year warranty on items bought from US, while in certain EU countries you will get 2 years (Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc...). From my personal experience, I found UK a very good place where to boy electronic ;) Not always and not everything, but you can often find a very good deal. Unfortunately, I can't help you with UK shop links. I usually buy items via ebay ;)

I would suggest you to contact Ricoh IT or DE with a question where in EU you can order the GRDIV. They should provide you with the list of shops so you can check their prices. Hope this helps?
 
It helps!!!

Thanks you're very kind!

Valerio

PS: I'll keep you informed on the issue with the GX200.
 
Hi,
sorry about the non-response. I am in Australia so can't really help.
Sometimes the best deal can be close to home.
Have you asked at the local camera dealers in Italy?
