One question is the availability of the DS - or its successor, the DS2. Only few shops in Austria stock Pentax :-( you could check www.geizhals.at (IMHO the best price comparison for Austria and Germany). e.g. http://www.geizhals.at/?a=118975&t=abholung&v=l http://www.geizhals.at/?a=118977&t=abholung&v=l (on stock in shop): none The tax in Austria is higher than in Germany - one of the reasons why German prices are lower. See http://www.geizhals.at/?fs=Pentax+ist+ds&x=0&y=0&in= for price comparisions (e.g. from 644 EUR on for body, best price in Austria: 723.10 EUR). European warranty is two years, European return policy from internet orders is two weeks. Be aware of some dealers with overpriced delivery costs - or maybe grey market. Good luck, Martin
