The price in John Lewis is £650 52,650/- The price in Jessops is £650 52,650/- in rupees. http//www.jessops.com/Directory/catalogue.ashx/categoriesLTjessops_1/categoriesLTjessops_1_10?fh_location2f2fjessops2fen_GB2fisvisible3d12fcategories3Cjessops_12fcategories3Cjessops_1_102fmanufacturername3dnikon The price in India on the Nikon site is 39,950/- rupees. http//www.nikon.co.in/pagearticle.php?pageid88-03d48607f3 Why is there a price discrepancy? It seems that the same product is 13000/- rupees more expensive here. In India they seem to offer a bag and SD card free with the camera as well. This seems unfair.
