1,400 bucks over list? Yeah... This is latest holy grail of the digital world, but I can get better deals at my local camera shop.

awesome Idea to report them to Nikon! Price gouging on Amazon... I'm disgusted.

$1400 over list is profiteering from the current back-order situation. Given there is already a healthy markup on wholesale this camera is excessively priced - better wait for the $4999 list price that will be available soon, no doubt.

B&H; had 35 D3's yesterday, they took a while to sell out. And at $5499 there are many in stock. Word is out, the camera is out, and maybe one day it will be $3999 like when they dropped the D2H price.

Report this to Nikon. Nikon will halt future D3 orders to this store - when the rep finds out about this they are done for '08 with D3 orders. Report them.

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...

My apologies. If you have had it in your hands then I certainly cannot dispute that. I have done more research and found that Target says that the camera is available (in stock) at our local Targets. I will see tomorrow and report back.

Google the sellers name and reviews. I have found that all the sellers I checked that were below the average street price of about $2700 were bait and switch shops. If you didn't buy their overpriced accessories they would tell you that the camera was out of stock.

Ditto only I saw it on DealNews.I'm impressed with the camcorder but not with Amazon's BS.Thanks for making a statement that I can follow up on.

hi. it is very popular and hard to found. I have only one new camera, but price is 160usd. thanks

Thanks. Yes I see it there, but like some other sites they are asking now more than the MSRP from Cannon. Although this is the closest I have found to the MSRP. I did find it one or two other places, but both were asking $300.All places asking the MSRP or below are out. Thanks for the info. This is almost close enough for me to purchase, depending on shipping costs.

i just ordered my D300 kit from B&H.; The camera alone was $1524 but I clicked on the kit link and found I could get it with the 16-85 (almost $600 retail) for $300 more. Easy decision. It was by far the lowest legitimate price on the net.

I'm also on the wait list. They got my hopes up, giving me a Jan. 19 delivery date, then changed it to "we don't know when it will ship." I might try the local camera shops. I don't mind paying sales tax, but I'm not going to pay an extra $1,600.

I was about to buy a camera at AJrichies. The price was more than $25 less than the same model anywhere else, and with no shipping charge I would save even more. When I looked at the prices of the accessories I became very suspicious - easily 3X more than what I would pay going to a local computer superstore or even a big box retailer. Having had a bad experience with another low price online retailer, I decided to check company reviews BEFORE I ordered. The negative reviews confirmed my suspicions.

Not sure what you're asking. I bought a couple of them online because the prices were so different I thought they might also be. Bought a Nikon one, and a cheap after-market brand. Nikon's was about $7, the other was one cent. They're virtually identical, both work just fine. So I'd say, buy it online, and buy the $.01 version. Even with shipping, it should be less that $4-5.

I think its a great deal....l have a similar circumstance with the others who posted...bought my wife a digital pocket camera and it was dropped and broke. Square Trade gave us a total replacement with no squabbling about it. I give them an A+.

This is basically backordered everywhere. Check out all the buying options, there are still some for sale at $799, but get them quickly since they're in super high demand! I was able to get one from Camera Land here on Amazon for $799 just the other day, and I'm now waiting for it in the mail.

www.cameraaddict.com is advertising the silver one for $328 and the black one for $381, with free shipping, for anyone that is interested. I do not not have experience ordering from them but these are the cheapest prices I can find.

I agree. Recently my hubby and I were shopping, and I wanted either the Olympus FE-370, or the CAnnon sx-110-Is.Low and behold when I opened the parcel yesterday, there was that fugifilm s1000. every shot was blurry and just crap!Im returning it today, and going to get one of my first choices.

I've been buying photo equipment for years mostly oneline and mailorder. I gave up on trying to squeeze the last dollar on a camera purchase. These guys are scam artists and their is no way you are going to win. I buy at B&H; Photo and Adorama, usually very fair prices and good services. I'm happy with them.
