Canon 1D MK4 Price revision in Switzerland

I still get news from Canon Switzerland even though i ask them not to send it, Today i received a mail saying:

EOS 1D Mark IV: Prix de vente conseillé définitif CHF 7'148.-

Cher M. COURTENAY

Veuillez noter que jusqu'à présent, nous avions communiqué un prix de vente conseillé de CHF 8'148.- pour l'EOS 1D Mark IV. Le prix de vente conseillé définitif est de CHF 7'148.- et les conditions pour les revendeurs restent inchangées.

Basically its says :
Want to note that so far, we had communicated a price of advised sale of CHF 8'148.- for the EOS 1D Mark IV. The advised final sale price is CHF 7'148.- and the conditions for the dealers remain unchanged.

This works out to be about 4300GBP or 7000USD

I dont know if Canon Suisse got their prices wrong the first time or if this is a price reduction

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
