I feel comfortable with the decision given my budget.
I managed to get a DBK41 for US$490 at an exchange rate of 1.012 through Mastercard (+2% foreign currency change fee). Delivery AU$46 and because it is under the AU$1000 limit, no customs or GST is applicable. It depends what specials are going at the time and it may even be possible to buy one in Australia for nearly the same total price but you get the Aus warranty and delivery much quicker and cheaper.
Monochrome versions are available as well as version with the IR filter in place too.
I'm sure others will post their recommendations so have a look at these too especially if they have experience with their recommended camera as I have no experience yet with the DBK. I'm sure you'll find something that suits you.
Good luck!
Cheers,
