I don't care about the grip or the kit lens, so where can I buy a V3 with the EVF for $900? I can buy an A6000 with a built in grip and EVF for $650 or an E-M10 for $700. The E-P5 is overpriced as well.
Do you or anyone really buy a camera based on price though ? If you want want the Sony NEX offers, then I'd think you'd buy one regardless of price, same as if you wanted something like an OVF, you'd go with a Fuji offering. If you want 40 FPS at full rez, native AF using any Nikon G mount lens etc, you'd get a V3.
It's not like someone would have zero interest in the A6000 but suddenly because its a mere $300 cheaper they choose to buy it instead.
Granted, V3 isn't cheap, and priced above many cameras in the market, which maybe isn't the best strategy, but then again, I don't think its something you buy instead of a Fuji etc, its something you buy in addition.
I think of it just as an expensive photography accessory/tool, and like most photographic tools, its darn expensive, but if it helps do a job, then its worth the money.
If your not specifically interested/have a need for very high frame rates, and a stable of Nikon G glass you want to get a 2.7x TC for, or the need for the above along with a silent shutter, I can't really see anyone buying it.
At the same time, anyone who covers sports like the PGA tour (or any level of golf) I would consider it a must have purchase
