Yeah its $349 everywhere, so Amazon is full of it. Now if they dropped it to $300 or lower...shazaam. I wish they offered extended warranties

Yes, their price is $349 - but they show us saving $50 from the "list price" of $399. The list price is in fact $349 - we are therefore saving nothing. Which I am fine with since it is new, but feel the claim of savings is deceptive.

The $119.99 price is a reference to the suggested retail price of the 30 minute camcorder, which is now on sale for $103.83. It is misleading of Amazon if the flash ad led you to the 60 minute camcorder which is sold at a higher price point.

Appericate your imput Erik, really would rather know Amazon's policy from them concering USA versus import issues.... Thanks though. Amazon's price is between internet retailers like B&H;, $2700 which is a USA model & some of the bottom feeders @ $1600 for imports. Seems Amazon would make this just a bit clearer for us, so with that said, no deal untill they step up or buy from a provider with assurances.... Oh yea, just talking about D700, body only with all the usual accessories that would come with the purchase, strap, battery & so on....

Yes, If I can find the same item at Amazon with lower price or similar price, I always buy at Amazon. Amazon is definitely the best online store with fastest shipping and reliable return policy.I am thinking to buy a new camera at Amazon now - maybe Canon Powershot SD880 IS as a friend recommends. I wish the price for this camera at Amozon would be more competitive.

I would call Canon and bitch them out. Sadly, it seems like all the manufacturer are doing the same thing and I think it's a crock. Who wants to sit at the PC and read what I heard is a 96 page manual with COPY stamped on it. I was going to buy the 20is and found out there was no manual. I don't have to have a Canon for a P&S, I would rather find one with a manual, which I haven't yet.

I've not checked the price of this item, but you can usually save money by shopping around. Amazon is a good source, but I would also check B&H. Canon is not known for having the lowest prices in town. It IS good paper.

The Canon website lets you download the manual so you can learn more if you wish, and also includes a full description of what is in the box. You get the camera, a charger, battery, battery contact cover, strap, USB interface cable, a stereo AV cable (the yellow, red, white RCA connector kind - not the HDMI kind), a getting started guide, a Solutions CD, and warranty card. The big manuals are all on the CD. It does not come with a memory card. Compatible cards are detailed in the manual available at the Canon website but basically it's SD, SDHC, MultiMediaCard, MMCplus, or HC MMCplus - but don't buy based on this info. Check the manual for details. As to the cost of including GPS, full-on NMEA GPS modules that are meant to be incorporated into other products sell for $20 or so on hobbyist websites. I would imagine Canon is getting them for far less that that. If I had to guess, I would say that overall, the GPS functionality adds maybe $10 to $15 to the cost of the camera otherwise - but that is only a guess.

the price on this camera seems to be going UP the gold is $499 and the silver is $799!!! it must be a collector camera by now.. I was recommended to buy this camera but my friend paid below $250 about a year ago...

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

The LIST price on HP's web site for the rx5915 is $499, so Amazon's price ($410) is a decent discount on that. The other prices I've seen here, some of which greatly exceed this list price, are ridiculous.

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???

I bought mine in September of 07 for 399. It has been the hardest camera to use, my pics are blurry on every setting except the sport setting. The flash will not pop up unless it is set on twilight but then it is blurry. I do not understand why the price is going up.

Wouldn't Canon have the official MSRP? They are the manufacturer of the lens.

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.

Just read this:..."I believe Canon discontinued these because they use the same sensor as their "professional" cameras costing up to $4k."They don´t make these cameras anymore, and they come with a very expensive piece. Probably it´s this.

I just picked mine up from Best Buy in Houston. They have one more left. Dallas store have them also. Funny thing is that they are listed for $9,999.99. I had to get a manager involved, when the not so bright clerk was arguing with me that it was a $10K camera. The manager ended up selling it for the correct price.
