No parallel imports! I've had a pricespy alert on this camera since last month. Cheapest ever on pricespy (if you ignore the false international price history, as they don't account for GST + shipping cost to New Zealand). Time limited sale, but doesn't say how long the special is valid for.
New model V has come out, but doesn't add much over the IV. IV has 4K video recording, as well as the best in class CMOS sensor. Check dpreview.com and other review sites for the rave reviews of this camera since model I was released.
Didn't realise this model had become so expensive.
