Here in Singapore they offer the D800 for S$4488 which is 20% above the price in the USA, 2999US$ and lower than the hefty price Europeans have to pay....2900Euro
I think the camera should be sold everywhere at the same price. I am now thinking of asking an American friend to buy the camera for me there and bring it over. Maybe I even go for the D800E which is cheaper in the US than here the D800.
@impurenrg...I think you got things confused here. The D800 sensor was rated higher than the D700 sensor.

Well the US price is with no sales tax. The Europe price is with VAT. Vat ranges from 17% - 25% in different EU countries. Crazy! But the VAT 0% price is about 2200 euros in Finland for instance. How does that compare to your price?

Beware - as Nikon camera body warranties are generally very restrictive, and if you buy one from elsewhere, you will not find a local dealer who is prepared to service it.
