Why has this camera been discontinued?

SONY discontinued this product since they've released newer ones. And with the age-old immutable laws of marketing, older models gradually become obsolete as new models arrive.

Canon discontinued this camera? I thought it came out last year and was the top camera to buy in its category? I am personally very dissapointed in the quality of the video and regret buying this camera.

Mostly because they don't make these anymore. If you have a Logitech alert system you must have more Logitech alert cameras to be compatible.

This camera is now obsolete, so if you want to buy it, check Ebay. I sold mine last year. Sorry.

Yes, xD cards are becoming hard to find and from what I've seen they're going the way of the dinosaur! I've had my camera for 5 or 6 years, and love it, but will buy a new one when I can no longer find the xD cards. In regards to your question, sorry, but I can't help you. I'd go on line to search for information or contact the manufacturer - if you haven't already done that. Good luck!

This is NOT discontinued. If you had done even the least bit of research and you would have discovered that. This is not only the best selling webcam on the market it is the best performing webcam on the market. Period. Nothing on the market comes close to this one. Not to mention it even works with macs.If you wanted to check about this item being discontinued you would have contacted the manufacturer who is Logitech. Oh btw, logitech still sells these and there are no hints that this will be discontinued anytime soon. A call or even a few seconds on their website would have prooved that. This is NOT discontinued.

It's being sold here at Amazon, as far as other vendors, this camera is now considered to be an old model, it was released over a year ago.

No, mine did not. I haven't checked lately to see if they're selling newer models of this, but I was under the impression it was being discontinued.

This camera with the 20mm pancake lens is out of stock EVERYWHERE as far as I can tell. Panasonic's own web site lists it that way, as do every online store I've checked.... except, as you note, for the ones who are taking advantage of the temporary scarcity to charge hundreds of dollars more. I understand it's supply and demand, but I still think it's slimy, and I refuse to deal with those companies. Panasonic pretty clearly underestimated the demand for this model. I think everyone who reacted to the Olympus E-P1 with "Oh, cool idea, pity the auto-focus sucks so badly and they used such a low-res LCD display" wants a GF1 now. Best of luck on getting your camera before Christmas, but my guess is it's a long shot.

I believe Kodak software is no longer available. They are out of the camera business. Try Shutterfly.Mark

Answer to original question.Because Sony no longer makes them & there's no better camcorder made including Sony's newest offering.
