Good camera - you could pick it up for about €580 from Amazon delivered and no need for any extra taxes, duties or VAT to be added.

I'd be very wary of that website you posted up, an Irish phone number, all prices quoted in Euro's but they are based in Hong Kong and you will be liable for all taxes, charges, duties and VAT and more than likely will get hit for these charges. You are not informed of this unless you read the terms and conditions and its very misleading given then prices and phone number on the homepage.
