The full frame a99 is announced in two flavours, the 'v' model having a
GPS receiver to tag photos. (Though there is a 3 hole "GPS" position
behind the accessory connection panel suggesting the GPS is an "add on"
and not a "built in" - need to see more on this).

Per one site, only the 'v' model will be offered in the US (I presume
Canada as well).

$2800.

I'll stick to my a900 for now I guess (with separate GPS to record
locations).

[sorry for the double post to rpd, meant to x-post to both groups]

Despite the US$ being worth less than the CAD$, the price of the a99 in
Canada is higher than in the US ($2799) by 7.14%.

(Henry's and others will likely have it at a lower price - but then that
goes for B&H as well...)
