Why does Amazon mislead (lie) about the list price? It can be bought for $10399 numerous places, including Canon. Will NOT buy from Amazon!

I am not sure why they dothis. It could be that the opriginal list price dropped and they didnt update their list price.

It's listed for 10,399 currently on Amazon, same price as elsewhere (and for $10,499 on the Canon site). Why would you assume they are lying? Perhaps this was the initial list price and it was an oversight that it didn't get changed. Why would this make you not buy through Amazon? I don't get it.

I agree, War Eagle! I also hate the fact that the List Price is $499 and Amazon is selling it for $503. That doesn't seem right either!

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.

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

The white box one mentions list price as $499, while this one says $800. I checked at Canon web site. The list price for this lens should be $499. So any clues why Amazon has it listed as $800 on this page? Are there two versions of the same lens - i.e. is this the newer version compared to White Box offer? This is all too confusing as there are listings for seeming the same product. I understand the reason behind White Box etc., but why difference in list price???

That's not Amazon's price. It's from another "store" that sells on their site. If I remember correctly, Amazon's price was fair, but they must be sold out.

Don't be stupid people, Amazon third party people sell it overpriced, there are other places that sell it for 69.99 or less, I can't say because then the resellers will buy it, but LOOK CAREFULLY.

The list price is $439.99 to as low as $419.99 on Sony Store - Amazon sometimes sells lower than that. If you added to the cart which says "Sold by Amazon" with free shipping and found the price to be $299.00 you got yourself a great deal. Make sure you confirm you buy from Amazon Directly they cannot sell used products. But Amazon Market place can sell used products - Watch out!

I posted a large write up about Amazon's List Pricing issue on these. Amazon chose to delete the post instead of fixing the issue. I'm a bit upset about this. Its false advertising. I checked thru several of the new Garmin devices and not one had the correct List Price on Amazon. They artificially raised the List Price anywhere from $50 to $100 on every single one of the new Garmin devices. The "Suggested Retail Price" on Garmin much lower on Garmins site than on Amazon. Wonder how many other items that we believe that we getting such good deals on are the same.

I saw it online this morning at beachcamera & buydig for 1224.95, then later this afternoon its up to 1294.95. Seems like the price changes by the hour unfortunately.

$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.

Yes this is price gouging... personally I think Amazon should not allow items to be listed above a certain percentage of msrp. Not even sure if this will work with a modern OS (apart from Linux).

Actually the coupon you speak of, from B&H; is not a coupon. The price they show is the price AFTER instant rebate! I suggest you visit the Canon website and it will explain how the rebate works. I hope Amazon gets them instock at the $350 again and I will be ordering it. I sold my original 580 and want the newer one for my 1D Mark 3. Esp here in Alaska, the weather sealing and that metal foot will be nice. ThanksKevin PAlaskan Photo Tours and Workshopswww.PhotoTourAlaska.com

If it's not a Canon product, then this is false advertisement. Now someone says it is. Others say it isn't...AMAZON...what do YOU say?

To make sure (as much as possible) that it is the "real" Canon product you are seeking, purchase it from a reputable retailer such as B&H; or Adorama. Amazon is great, but you have to do your homework on the retailers they associate with ... just like you would on the world famous "Flea-Bay" auction site.

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.
