Paul:
Yes, but look at the UK prices. Discounted Amazon price for OM-D with
12-50 is Pds1109, which is Can$1759 (and something similar in US$).
Typical Canadian price is $1299, and currently on special for $1199 or
so. So, even with the lens, the camera+lens price is not a lot better
than North American prices.
I suppose I should allow that the UK price includes 20% VAT, and my
price is less tax (13%). A number of US states also have (lower) sales
taxes.
