Yeah what happened? This was $279 just a few days ago and frequently was available for as low as $240. So what gives? Looking to get this, but not at over $400! And be warned, with USB 3.0 quickly becoming the standard, any HD camcorders with USB 2.0 built in will be passe very soon.

Amazon doesn't appear to have this TV anymore. $429 was when Amazon was selling it, now the price keeps fluctuating because other stores are selling it through Amazon. I am in the same boat as you and I am waiting to see if Amazon gets it back in stock so the price might be $429 again. Lets keep our fingers crossed...

Amazon moves prices often. Just a luck of the draw thing. It sucks that amazon got rid of its 30 day pricematch guarantee. Your only chance is that the camera is out of stock for a couple of weeks. Amazon will give you the price difference if the item hasnt shipped, so I would order it and then you would have about 4 weeks for it to drop again(just have to check daily) and let amazon know.

I really want this camera- the manual controls using the touchscreen look great. Has anyone ordered from Amazon and gotten it already? It says it'll ship in "1-2 months," but if it's already out... ?

There is a website that has this camera and the prices are very resonable. The site is adorama.com. They are located in NYC and I have been dealing with them for a while now and I never had a problem with them. They have the camera in stock. Once you get the camera, you will enjoy it.

Just saw that Tigerdirect has this exact same camcorder for $500.00 after Bing Cash Back.. I am really tempted but still prefer purchasing from Amazon.com instead of Tigerdirect. If only Amazon would match the price.

hi katie,the price has already droped in some places.u have to decide if the pictures u will miss waiting for a price drop is worth it.as i person that sold cameras for 18 years,the lowest price will be in feb.2010.watch everyones ads.also look for floor models and cameras that have been returned.for spouse or economic reasons.they would have regular warranty from nikon.if not do not buy.

The Fuji Film on-line store has changed the availability date of this camera to "April". It previously said it will be available on March 24. Now they have until April 30th to ship it out, unless they change the date again. I am sure a lot of people will be disappointed with this news!http://www.shopfujifilm.com/detail/FUJ+16018645Folks.... I think we are in for a long wait!!!!!!

Brandon. It doesn't say when you asked this question but I figured the answer out. First, I just purchased the last one that a storefront had for $289, so i'm sorry if I stole the lens from you :X. Second, the price is going to be interesting on this lens from here on out. It has been discontinued due to a recently announced new model. The question is how much will this new model cost? To my knowledge that hasn't been answered. I decided to snag it at this price because if the new model is upwards of $400 then it out of my price range anyway. If the new model comes out sub $400 this older model might tank in price. Supply and demand will dictate based on that information. As for big stores, I don't see you having much luck. Most did firesales and liquidated their stock already to mitigate the price risk. I can tell you that this is my first fixed lens for general photography. It hasnt even arrived yet, but when it does I plan to test it out. If its not to my liking I can resell it to you at the price I purchased + the tax I paid + shipping. I would generally just return it but that lowers your chance of it ending up in your hands. If this was a recent post just come back to me and I can show you proof that it hasn't even arrived yet :). Take care!

hey Lisa. I just pre-ordered this camera, as the specs are too awesome to resist, and Amazon's return policy is stellar, so no worries. Then I found an actual user review of the camera, believe it or not, which says to me that it should be out soon. Here's the link, and drool to your heart's content: http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/showcase/review/finepix-hs20exr/hands-on-a-fuji-hs20Notice no purple fringing anywhere to be found, at least as far as I could tell, which is a VERY impressive feat for a camera with this kind of zoom. Also, the High Dynamic Range option seems stellar, as well as the Pro Focus Mode. Check out the review. It made me feel very good about my early purchase. Now I can't wait to get the camera! hey Lisa. I just pre-ordered this camera, as the specs are too awesome to resist, and Amazon's return policy is stellar, so no worries.

I am wondering the same thing. This camera has been for sale on amazon since the beginning of the month and there were 3 reviews as of last Thursday.

BUMP. Same question. I've been waiting awhile to get even a tiny camcorder b/c I figure wait as long as you can, then buy what's current. Some stuff I'll want to do, not sure if I can wait any longer than mid April. Anyone from Amazon please comment...

It is now $299.95 !!!! It is the perfect time to get this camera, I got one already, and am loving every moment of using it. Panasonic LUMIX DMCG2K 12.1MP Digital Camera (Body Only)

Actually, as of now, Jr.com has the black version for 399.99, free shipping. They were out of stock and I ordered on 11/7/08, now today they just emailed me that the camera is shipping! I can't wait! Great deal and great price.

There's NO WAY a Sony HDR-XR200V could be sold for $135. If that's what it said, then it was an operator mistake, pure and simple, and I would've cancelled the order as well. Mistakes do happen (both Walmart and Staples released typos on online ads this past Christmas, and informed their customers, who were ordering the incredibly-priced electronics, that refunds would be given, and the items could not be purchased at those prices. Sorry if you don't agree... but nobody's perfect. You won't get a $600 discount on this camera... sorry. (BTW - I just bought this camera at B&H for around $598... it's currently $649.. STILL cheaper than Amazon. go there instead..)

Ended up buying canon T1i instead of T3... will be in my hands next week. Bought it from Walmart for 629. Amazon price was 709 for the same camera. Letting you guys know if anyone is interested in buying Canon T1i. it is a 15MP camera with 720p video at 30fps and 1080p with 20fps. I really don't care for video part but it was really good deal compared to what best buy or amazon was asking for same camera.

I believe the issue is that Amazon sold out of them (this seems to be a very popular camera), and the third party sellers are charging a higher price due to the demand. It's not anything Amazon's done, $999 isn't their price.
