(UPDATE ON 15 Dec)
I have learnt about the news for some time but there was no official proof. This morning I wrote to the local dealer and they just put up a press release on its website.
So, If you are coming to Hong Kong and craving for a GRDII/GX200/R10, mark that Ricoh is offering Christmas discounts here in Hong Kong as follows (prices in HK dollars; US$1 = HK$7.8):
Ricoh GR Digital II (was $5,500) 30% off to $3,900
Ricoh GX200 VF Kit (was $5,000) 10% off to $4,500
Ricoh GX200 (was $4,500) 15% off to $3,900.00
Ricoh R10 (was $3,180) 12% off to $2,780.00
(Do exchange rates here)
This means that the previous street price, say, for GX200 at $3,450 here dives deeper now.
Now, read between the lines, they axe the biggest 30% off the price of GRDII! Clearly, this is a typical move to sell out the stock. Clearly, the new cycle is on its way: the discount is very likely heralding the coming of GDRIII.
So, may I correct myself that if you are craving for a GRDII, think twice before you buy it now. Wait and behold, the newborn is probably coming to town.
