I have it on very good authority that those prices are completely wrong.
The 34465A will be around US$1500
The 34470A will be <US$3000
Options will cost extra, in the order of hundreds of dollars.
And yes, I might be able to get one soon for teardown.
This price is in Brazil, normally much more expensive.
For some context, iPhones used to be sold officially in Brazil for almost twice the price. Playstation 4 launch price? US$1400 vs. US$400 on Amazon. Brasilians often complain about this here in the EEVBlog forum. It's because of import taxes It's so bad, actually, that Apple started manufacturing iPhones in Brazil just to stay competitive in that market.
The conversion rate in that site is, let me say, unreliable.
DSOX3014A - R$12,821.78 - US$3,950
MDO3014 - R$13,949.20 - US$3,990
34461A -R$5,798.34 - US$1.100
Fluke 87V - R$2,490.00 - US$340
U1733C - R$1,099.56 - US$432
US$ prices from tequipment.com
The Fluke 87V here, as you could see, is in 'normal' range of value. You could see that, even with taxes, and reseller profit, still very high.
I don't know why. One thing to think, the agilent U1272 or U1273 are about R$1000,00~R$1500,00, way less than fluke. I don't know how they calculate brazilan values...
So, it ranges from 2.5 to 8.
My guess is that the conversion rate will be similar to the 34461A, about 5.

Yes, Techni-tool who virtually never discounts has the 34465A for $1395, and the 34470A for $2895.

They will be available (at least in North America) in the beginning of March. Some distributors have stock already. I am working on trying to get a demo this week to compare it to the 34461A that I still can return. The guy I am dealing with says they have 3, none of them being spoken for, and can sell them on the 2nd.
Apparently I have one practically on the truck...

Hey, what's with that U3606A/U3606B ?
A 5.5 digit meter and 30W PSU in the one unit, is that new too?

Techni-tool appears to have scrubbed those pages.
Any other confirmation or delivery date information?
The model numbers are easily found on the Keysight site, so looks like it is fully public now.
* Capacitance measurement (ALL - NEW for 60/61)
* Capacitance measurement (ALL - NEW for 60/61)
Existing 61 owners can get cap measurement with a firmware upgrade?
Capacitance measurements with the 34461A will require an upgrade to firmware revision 2.07. Revision 2.07 should be available on the Web around March 16th. You can upgrade the firmware yourself by downloading the firmware update utility that is also on the web, along with the firmware file itself.
Note that after you upgrade the firmware, the capacitance function is accessed by pressing:
Shift ? Freq
Older instruments such as yours will not have the symbol above the Freq key as the newer instruments will.
* ACAL. The manual does not exclude the 60/61 from ACAL even though the datasheet does (ALL - NEW for 60/61- to be confirmed).
* Extended calibration status window with ACAL-related info (ALL - NEW for 60/61 TBC)
* Partial 2nd measurement display (e.g. ACV while DCV primary) (NEW for 60/61)
Just lit it up for the first time, and man I am glad this got released while I still could return the Rigol and the 61A! It was not much more than the 61A either.
