Why is the red $10 more than the black? I have been researching cameras, this one is awesome and the one I want in red but why the price difference?

Same camera, just that the red one was/is so popular because of the color....sold out several times....Mary G

I've also done alot of research on these two cameras. I have not purchased either one because I'm still deciding. I personally have seen some BEAUTIFUL "kid" pictures with a Sony camera. The only drawback I see with that camera is the expensive battery pack (plus you need an extra back-up) and some poeple have difficulty using the connecting software. The Canon camera looks cheaper in the stores. When you decide...let me know!

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...

UPDATE:Woo hoo! Being persistent helps. I checked Amazon everyday to see if this camera was back in stock. Last week, it was in stock for a few minutes @ $399. I hit the check-out button, and it should be arriving this week.===Same here. I pre-ordered it for the $399 price, and the free 4GB SD card promo. I got my cancellation email last week. Now I have to return the SD card, since my current camera doesn't support SDHC.It seems everyone is out of stock. I have a feeling this camera won't be widely available till after the holidays. Bummer.

Good question. I would like to know why it is still available. My understand is, it's out of production. Are these knock offs?... I have read all of the reviews about this model, the Black colored camera. I also would like to understand the difference between the Black USA model versus the Sliver Japanese model, there is only 2 reviews on the Silver colored camera. Can anyone give some input?

If you have 2 choices, then you must go and try both cameras and try to choose by what you feel. I have the Canon, its my 3rd G series (had the 9 and 11, among 6 or 7 other cameras) and overall its an amazing camera, really. Very VERY quick, with is something that can really make a differnece when hunting for that special pic. Nothing to envy in luminosity to the best reflex out there, it takes pictures with low light that are incredible for the size and price of this machine. And my favourite! the slow motion video recorder, great adition and lots of fun there. The wifi? never used it, yet!

There's NO WAY a Sony HDR-XR200V could be sold for $135. If that's what it said, then it was an operator mistake, pure and simple, and I would've cancelled the order as well. Mistakes do happen (both Walmart and Staples released typos on online ads this past Christmas, and informed their customers, who were ordering the incredibly-priced electronics, that refunds would be given, and the items could not be purchased at those prices. Sorry if you don't agree... but nobody's perfect. You won't get a $600 discount on this camera... sorry. (BTW - I just bought this camera at B&H for around $598... it's currently $649.. STILL cheaper than Amazon. go there instead..)

It looks like they put an upgrade, the 50D, that is the higher price. The prices for the 20D are very inexpensive, under $500, and not much to choose from. I doubt you can get a brand new one any more.

Sorry, I have no idea why the black model is more expensive than the red. Could be the provider of the black paint is greedier.

They are essentially priced the same and practically do not differ that much. I had both, newer one works better for me in general (and finish-wise, black one goes better with my camera).I guess the old one becomes a collectible now :-)

The more expensive one is from Amazon and the cheaper one is from another vendor selling through amazon. The cheaper one also comes with a flex strap for attaching the camera to certain things. They are both the same it just looks like the amazon price went back up after blackfriday and this other vendor kept it the same.

Anybody have any other comments about which of these 2 cameras to buy? Thanks!!!!

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.

Try jr.com, they also sell the Black version for $399.99 although they are also out of stock....I placed an order with them a few days ago, hopefully they won't cancel.The current price of $649.99 is just ridiculous. Geez I hate merchants who take advantage of a situation like this.

Sandeep,I am also trying to decide between the three cameras you mentioned above, and looking at the date of your post, you probably went ahead and purchased one of these. Would you be kind enough to tell which one you bought and in what ways you're pleased or not?Thanks

I bought the brown one for my parents, and will be buying one in the same color for myself. I chose the brown because of the dark contrast border that it provides when viewing the screen. Although I haven't seen the other colors in person, I am really satisfied with the brown color on the camera.

I bit the bullet and went with the Sony. Mainly because Circuit City was offering it for $329. Also because it had a better fps and ISO capabilities, if I remember correctly. The 4 gigs of memory set me back $59 though and the case was another $20, so that put me at $415 after tax. I must say that this thing takes awesome pics. I got it mainly for my kids sports. The 2.2 fps and sports mode are nice. The image stabilization seems to do a good job to on other pics. I have not used the remote control yet, but plan on usnig it to try and get some close ups of birds or squirrels, etc on a day when I have nothing else to do. I bit the bullet and went with the Sony.
