red shift Doppler effect cause the earths gravity to be lighter as it approaches the planet this is offset by using the proper filter when viewing

The lens and the original packaging (manuals, etc) is only 1.2 pounds. That 7 pound figure is probably an overstimation of the shipping packaging, anyway is way too high.

I got the camera shipped via USPS.The camera LCD screen did not have a protector and everything was loosely packed. But it does have everything in it.Have kept the battery to charge lets see how it goes.This is the first time i see such a packaging from amazon.

I bought the camera for my wife. Everything we received was new. She absolutely loves the camera. As to why it's cheaper I'm not sure. One thing we've always done is to shop around different sources until we identify the best deal before we make our purchase.

I have not used the camera yet. It is still in the (shipping) box as sent. I travel next week and plan to use the camera during my (4 week) trip to the Caribbean. After that I'll be in a better position to answer your questions.

The more expensive one is from Amazon and the cheaper one is from another vendor selling through amazon. The cheaper one also comes with a flex strap for attaching the camera to certain things. They are both the same it just looks like the amazon price went back up after blackfriday and this other vendor kept it the same.

Here's today's email from "Kevin Qui" dear sir, what happens to payment? I received confirmation that the package has already arrived in your town. I received a notice from Amazon that says: waiting to be validated payment .....Hold your breath Kevin, you may get it when the camera arrives at my house in "like new" condition and it can actually be registered at Canon for warranty... LOL

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.

I have the red which weighs 1 pound and I am extemely happy with this product. I suppose with shipping the weight is heavier. Just ask amazon customer service for advise.

No way, I don't have the lens with me today, but it surely is closer to about 1 pound, packing material and box should still bring it under 3 lbs.

my camera (not including the video screen or the waterproof case) weighs in at a mere 1/4 pound. Add on a mounting bracket for another 1/8 lb. Maybe the entire package with charger and hardware is 2.4lbs. Take off for the wild blue yonder! P. Brown

I just purchased mine 11/17/09 from CameraKing for 735.99 with free shipping. I found this vendor on Ebay. It shipped out the following day (yesterday) and I can't wait for my new toy to arrive. Edit. 11/27/09 It did not ship out at all. CamerKing lied about it being in stock and about shipping it out. Stay away from CameraKing! When I asked today, 12 days after paying for it, where my system was they told me that they don't have it and won't be getting more. They then tried to get me to buy a different product from them. I wouldn't do business with them ever again! I today bought the system from Amazon for 849.99. At least I will probably get it from them. Again, do yourself a favor and stay Clear of CamerKing. Very unethical people!

The price differences also occur when you try to buy used or refurbished cameras. Different sellers have different colors available and don't charge the same price. That is annoying because often I find a camera that is Prime but not "like new" or vice versa in the color I want. I wish this camera was available in the pretty purple you can get for the 340 because that would be perfect.

Well, that's it for me. Just got another notice that the shipment date has been pushed back to 4 Sep 06. Thanks for the tip about Adorama. I'm going to check out their seller rating/prices. I'm really irritated with Amazon right now since I ordered this camera from them (not a vendor) at a good sale price. About $750 for the camera body with both lenses. Of course, that doesn't mean much if they don't ship the camera. The aggravation of waiting over two months isn't worth it. And of course, the page still states that Amazon ships in 1-2 weeks.

Mine came in an appropriate box and did not see anything strange about it. I don't totally understand the question. The camera works great. I use it constantly in my business. We have four of them and never have problems.
