In Australia, Ted's Cameras ( a camera store chain with branches in most capital cities) have it available for pre-order at AU$349.95 and described as "coming soon".

Last night, Ted’s had upped the WB850F on pre-order to $369.95

You guys are nuts if you're willing to pay full price for it.

Unfortunately, even though the Australian dollar is currently worth a bit more than the greenback, limited retail competition in our relatively small market tends to result in higher wholesale and retail prices and fewer end-of-run discounts than in the USA.

But discounts do happen - or we can order in from the USA (sales tax free if under $1,000 AUD - much to the chagrin of some of our big retailers)
