Good deal for US purchasers, but 750 bucks shipping to Europe? Ouch! Maybe they're flying across Business Class, bowl of warm roasted nuts and all…

I'm really looking forward to prices coming down on used F5 bodies... although I have a sneaking suspicion that it will hold it's value better than previous cameras.

They're a smidge over 7,500 pounds new at CVP now, in stock. Pretty sure that's lower than it used to be.

That's before the 20% VAT I assume? So about $13,100 U.S. -about $3,000 less then B&H, very good deal.

The most insane deal out there right now is this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1189245-REG/sony_pmwf5a7rel_pmw_f5_a7s.html

-After you add up all the included accessories, your basically getting the camera for about $6,000

Always ignore the shipping cost on ebay and message seller directly, ebay tries to make things simple but does a terrible job with that.

I managed to find a few others around same price actually, and with VF.
