Amazon's price Is that right? $899? That's more than Canon's MSRP!

Yes I also noticed that. I had purchased this camera last month and returned mine for an exchange due to possibly being defective (after an email exchange with Canon support). Unfortunately they then emailed me that they no longer had it in stock and didn't know when they were going to get more. They could only offer me a refund. They finally showed it back in stock but then I was amazed at the price! I even emailed them to find out why but just got a non answer (to be expected I guess) about how their suppliers set the prices. As you say, this price is higher than Canons, so it makes you wonder what they are playing at. I guess they don't want anyone to buy it from them...! Yes I also noticed that.

If I were you I will wait for a reasonable price, since they are bringing the prices up so you go for the new model, I am actually waiting to see the reviews of the new model to see which one to choose.

I know what you mean. They upped the price on me when it was in my cart by nearly $200, so I went with another vendor.Amazon's current $2,499 price is the same as Circuit City, which isn't very competitive. There are several places online that sell it cheaper at the moment with free shipping. Just go to nextag or pricegrabber to find the best deal.

Most likely a price below $1499 is from a vendor that is not an authorized Tamron dealer. This means you may not be eligible for any rebates or the 6 year warrantee offered by Tamron. Most authorized dealers are going to set the price at MSRP ($1499). It is up to you if a discounted price is worth giving up any rebates and (more importantly) the 6 years of coverage. Go to http://www.tamron-usa.com/dealers.php to see if the dealer who is selling the lens is an authorized dealer of Tamron. If the cheapest price on Amazon is not from an authorized dealer go to the list of all dealers selling the lens on Amazon and find one that is authorized according to the Tamron website. I just bought this from Murphy's Camera because the rebate and warrantee were more important to me than saving a couple bucks. This is especially true when you consider the lens is not cheap and it would really bum me out if I needed to get it fixed out of warrantee.

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.

I'm wondering the same thing. Canon's website doesn't even have this printer listed and I just bought it!

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....

I learned some time ago that if I bring in my printout to a local shop, as long as Amazon is an authorized dealer in say Canon or the brand I"m buying, they will beat the price if they haven't already. The local shop has been around for years, handles the areas "big box" warranties and offers a way better deal than here on Amazon. Amazon has lost a good amount of money from me because of things like this thread not to mention it takes quite some time to ship big ticket items to me when the local place is 10 mins. away and has it in stock. The only thing I still order from Amazon is books. Good luck to all that are waiting, I"m going to the store in the am for mine.

We all seem to complain about Amazon, Ritz, Adorama, B&H;, etc... What about Canon USA? They are hyping this by sending out a few at a time. We should all take this up with Canon. They should be getting the calls, e-mails, etc. Let's remind them that there is another competitor named Nikon who is willing to take our money.

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

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 Canon T4i was discontinued sometime back so certain 3rd party Amazon sellers are no longer bound by the manufacturer's pricing rules causing extra dollar signs to suddenly appear in (their beady little eyes and) their listing. Or, in business terms, when supply is low, you can charge whatever you want. Or something like that.

If your buying a Canon printer, which is all I ever buy because of their excellent customer service and reliability, the cable is usually not included. It looks like you can pick one up here at Amazon for $2.99 here at Amazon and get free shipping with a Prime membership, or an order over $25. I saw a new belkin for $5 (including shipping) if you're not a Prime member. I've never understood why people overpay for all types of cables, (like $20 for a printer cable) at the stores.

Where did you find the 8 pack for $50? The lowest I've ever seen on Amazon is $80. The only carts I've seen for lower are refurbished no-chip carts. If you can source new Canon 8 packs for $50, you'd be the man!

shipping prices is the main reason. Shipping from the manufacturer $25 then shipping to you another $25 makes it hard. The prices on Amazon are actually still about what the old MSRP was even though the price has gone up.

I haven't checked the MSRP, but it's listed for around $320 here (though out of stock) and it's available for less than $300 elsewhere, so I think it's safe to take it as one of those Amazon random-before-discount-prices.
