Now let me play a little bit with the calculator using the exchange rate as today :
4999$= 3050£ if you add the local tax (English VAT) it would be: 3500£
4999$= 3377euros if you add the local tax (French TVA, for example) it would be: 3900euros
The difference with the european price is big: 700euros (1000$) but with the English one it\'s astonishing: 1000£!!!!! (1600$), for the american people: ask yourself if you would pay: 7500$ for this camera... that the price an English has to pay (not considering the price to replace some lenses as it is not a FF anymore...)
So the conclusion: Canon makes a lot of money on the backs of the UK and European citizens
