I was in the same boat. There is a new version out with the Kindle App preinstalled that goes for $599.

I would expect that the closer you get to Black Friday the better the price will be become. I am keeping a close eye on this model myself. Just this past weekend it went from $1009 to $1004 to $999 in the span of a day or 2. Not much of a decline but a downward trend. If you can wait Amazon may have this a Black Friday special. If not the price should still be lower than it is now. Hope this helps!

Amazon is good about reducing the price. Don't do like I did, and record the date and time of the lowest price, then contact them later. I got the price match, but it took some explaining. Call them each time you see a lower price. They don't mind if you call them each time the price goes lower.

Amazon doesn't price match. Put it in your cart and check it daily. the price will go down to $55 or so.

I got mine from Amazon last week for 1249, best price ive seen. Last night it was ~1450, now its 1379. I was surprised by how often Amazon changed the prices.

Yep...supply & demand. I almost bought it for $199 last week...guess I should have. It's not just Amazon, all the other venders are either out of stock, or have jacked the price way up. That's OK...I'll just wait for the Christmas shopping craze to pass...then I should be able to pick one up at a fair price.

Hello, we apologise for the price change. We try to maintain the same, if not steady price for our products. However, market prices are always fluctuating therefore we have to adjust our price accordingly on Amazon.

Yes, how dare Amazon! Utilizing the founding principle of our economy! The nerve!! Oh wait, the price hike is over... What a terrible ordeal for a price hike to last two weeks while an item is out of stock. BTW, the price decrease just so happened to coincide with Amazon shipping the cables out again. What a coincidence. And if you want to complain and moan about Amazon's pricing, purchase one of the other cables through one of the other companies. I'm sure Amazon won't mind losing a few whiny customers.

I was ready to pull the trigger on it through Amazon until it went up overnight. Just bought it at Fry's instead. $1500 w/ free shipping, $1620 w/ tax -- still cheaper than Amazon was yesterday.

They cancelled my order today. I bought mine for 99.99, and it's up for sale for $129 now. So it's available but just not at the price they quoted me weeks ago??!?!? What the hell? Thanks Amazon for making my Xmas shopping more complicated!

I believe the price fluctuates because amazon is simply a portal for finding a retailer that will sell the product for the cheapest price. When that particular retailer runs out of the product, an alternate retailer with the next best price becomes the determiner of the sales price. I just checked today and its at $340 for Electronics Expo. Good luck!

I don't know, but the price at Amazon jumped from $91.99 on 2-27-15 to $96.99 on 3-1-15. I bought at Best Buy on 2-26-15 for $51.99. Was not in stock, but they ordered from warehouse. Will pick up on 3-3-15. Exact same model.

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.

In 2012, this exact item and qty was being sold on Amazon for $21.99. In 2013, I paid $19.59. In 2014 it has skyrocketed in price. Still a good deal at $46? Possibly, but something has changed either with the supplier or the demand for the product. Kills me to pay $46 for something when it was available for 1/2 the price previously.

It's Amazon's best marketing tool. They set the price a crap ton higher then what it actually is, then they put it on "sale" by changing it back to the normal price a few days later and then they say you're saving the difference in money.

Usually when this happens on Amazon, it's because the usual sellers have sold out. Sellers then raise prices, sometime incidentally because prices are managed by computers algorithms. I don't believe this is an expected price for this.

Because prices on Amazon constantly fluctuate. The main provider can and do change their prices based upon numerous things/ What you do is put the item of interest in your cart. Then check your cart once a day. It often goes down. But you find if you are patient it goes down even further. It's the Amazon price game. They are not in control of all these things. Maybe some. It really is a game for your patience and guessing. Like gambling with you $20. I've left things sit in my cart for months!
