They're listing in the area of 800,000 won on Gmarket which is about $650 USD though the camera is listing for only $469 USD back in the states alone and $489 with 4gb memory card, case, and mini tripod.

Any of you seeing them for sale in Seoul? If so, how much are they going for?

The nearly $200 higher Korea Gmarket price doesn't include accessories such as case, extra battery, memory cards, tripod, etc. so I found it rather over priced unless buying off of eBay. I need to find a retailer selling at fair market value for this awesome newer model camera. I prefer to get my hands on one in person rather than mail order to ensure I get it. Gmarket assumes no responsibility for deals nor has dispute resolution like eBay.com does nor any insurance against loss during delivery.

Here are a few options to confuse you further.

Yes, that cam is 700,000 won on bb, but doesn't include the 4GB memory card and accessories nor is it a site I can buy on. So it appears. The prices went down on Gmarket and they're now 734,000 won include the 4GB card and accessories. Still stlightly over $100 more than in the US, but every thing I want costs more in Korea.

Anyone buy this awesome digicam yet?

The site gives you an idea about package prices and Gmarket looks O.K. Unless you want the hassle of having one sent (taxes, waiting, international warranty?).
